"Land-usage" is such a narrow-minded way to think about the implicit wants and needs of society. You sound like you've never been to actual cities, or never got your head far enough out of your arse to actually experience one.
North American suburban sprawl already proves that "enough land for us all to live comfortably" is a terrible way to live sociable lives and drains the economy due to massive swathes of those lands being used for roads and the maintenance of said roads.
I implore you to take a trip to almost any European city, and see for yourself what actual "comfortable living" for most people looks like.
I've lived in cities my whole life, which paints a pretty broad picture of you doesn't it? Couldn't even get the premise of your own bullshit comment right.
...Why did you reinterpret the premise of their statement into something entirely different and then attack them for it?
I'm not saying your interpretation is wrong, but that was mean.
