How’s the population density in Spain? They have more HSR than the US.

Spain has 3 times the population density of the US. The US would need 900 million people to have the same density.

I guess we’re lying with statistics.

The population density of Kansas and Montana is quite low. America is quite large.

However, Los Angeles and New York, San Francisco, etc are much more densely populated than Spain.
