Uninhabited land is empty of people for a reason: - it’s protected - it’s undesirable (too hot/ dry/wet/far/steep/close to a pollution source) - it’s agricultural land

If it’s not any of these it’s owned and thus controlled by someone.

Its owned and controlled by ppl who have millions of square meters for themselves.

^this is the real issue.

But we dont want to tackle the real issue of few ppl wanting to own the whole world :)

If we cut out that cancer ppl everyone on Earth could have a lot better living standards than we do now.

Almost the entirety of coastal California (and Oregon and WA as well.) It's insane. It's the best climate on the planet and the most protected from climate change.
