>Remember , size of California is fixed
Yeah, fixed at ~164 thousand square miles (~400,000 km^2). Are you for real? Los Angeles and New York City proper (not the metropolitan areas) are interestingly nearly identical in official area at around 468 square miles each. But LA has a density of around 8000/mi^2 while NYC is well over 27000/mi^2. If LA merely matched NYC that'd cover another 10 million or so population by itself. The size of freaking California is not remotely a limiting factor, the limiting factor is not enough high density buildings.
- gleenn 7y agoWhile your are technically correct, there are significant issues getting water. Just because there is a spare part of land also doesn't mean it's not in the middle of one of our huge deserts or is connected in any meaningful way to roads. Empty land doesn't equal inhabitable land.
