I remember seeing a map a few years ago. Basically it said that if we built a megalopolis with the housing density of Paris, all of humanity would fit into half of Texas, but if we went for Tokyo density, we would all fit into Louisiana.

Worst part of that hypothetical becoming literal truth would be everyone having to live in Louisiana.
