Your responses read as facetious. I chose two relatively large & wealthy European countries for comparison. But the US ranks 186/249 for population density; there is a lot of room for increased density if it is desired.

If you don't like those, here are some alternate compares you can sub into my post if it helps you engage with the concept:

- Belgium

- India

- China

- Vietnam

- Germany

- Italy

- South Korea

- Nigeria

- Spain

If the US were as dense as the EU, there would be ~1 billion Americans now.
