> "...each plat should house 15,000 to 20,000 people within one square mile..." 15,000 to 20,000 people per square mile means 43.11 to 37.34 sq-feet/person. That is below the dimensions of most tiny houses. EDIT: please correct me in a comment if I am mistaken. 5280'/mile square mile is 5280' x 5280' = 27,878,400 sq' 27,878,400 sq' / 20,000 persons = 1,393.92 sq'/person Yup - you are right. I was off by ~2 orders of magnitude. I took the square root one more time for no reason. I ended up calculating the length of the walls of the (multistory?) box you get to live in - 37.34' to 43.11'. Thanks.
