‘yes it’s true’ except it’s objectively not, there’s about two and a half trillion acres in the United States and only 330 million people, there’s over a billion acres of actively productive arable land alone.
And no you don’t need to bulldozer nature, learn to live as part of it and be a positive impact on the worlds ecosystems. Low impact living and permaculture gardens with local sustainable food networks are far better than cities on every metric
There are many chunks of that they are unliveable. Also who said this discusion only involved the US? Do you think erasing farms from existence would some how be a good idea? Or are you in favor of people returning to agrocultural serfdom?
The numbers are the same for the rest of the world, it’s a huge planet.
And yes monoculture industrial farms are awfull for the planet and bad by every other metric. Community produce exchanges and permaculture gardens is the best solution, automated tools for home growing should be a key focus of government r&d budgets.
Your source says even just land currently used for grazing livestock is more than enough to house everyone, that’s without considering all the land already used for habitation and etc.
It really is a very big planet, I don’t know if you hate people and want them to suffer or what your deal is but you’re welcome to live in the smallest box you can find, don’t try and force the rest of us to though.

There isnt enough land on the planet for everyone to own a house. And why even stop at a house. Everyone should owm multiple acres and homestead.

That’s not even close to true, and yes everyone should own an acre of land
Yes lets bulldoze all of nature so everyone can own a house. And yes it is true.

You really overestimate the space we have. Here is an overview on land usage: https://ourworldindata.org/land-use
Try to calculate how many people we can have if everyone lives in a si gle family home.
