What overpopulation? The world is not overpopulated. Its just that certain areas have a higher concentration of people that cannot be fully supported. The main problem is that we have more than enough to comfortably feed and house every person on the planet. Although we can do this, the people are just in the wrong place.

Math time -

According to Encyclopedia Britannica, Texas is 266807 square miles in size. Thats 7,438,152,268,746 square feet, give or take a few inches.

Now lets take a small estimate. According to census.gov, there are roughly 6.3 billion people in the world. If we form all 6.3 billion people in to families of 4, then we get 1,575,000,000 family units.

Here's the fun part. We'll give all 1.575 billion units a 2,000 square foot house, and an additional 2,000 square feet of yard space surrounding their 2,000 square foot house. Thats 4,000 square feet of space, per family unit.

so 1,575,000,000 units, each with 4,000 square feet is equal to 6,300,000,000,000 square feet. From what we had earlier, Texas is 7,438,152,268,746 square feet.

7,438,152,268,746 - 6,300,000,000,000 = 1,138,152,268,746 square feet left over in the state of Texas.

With all that space left over, plus all the rest of the world which can be used for farming, there really isn't a thing as over population. It is all in your head.

For all the critics, I'll let you expand everyones location from each other to compensate for streets, buildings, schools, loan offices, govermental buildings, shrines to me, stores, parks, lakes and other things. This was only an example.
