Yes. You are right. But each person needs more than one acre to survive.
If all I had was one acre and had to produce my own food and get all of my
resources from the one acre. I wouldn't survive. That was the point I was
trying to make. You can stack on the people you one into small spaces.
Unless there are others producing food somewhere else on large tracts of
land, that would not be possible.
