Okay completely irrelevant but I feel like infodumping and it's crazy how THIRTY TOUSDAND PEOPLE lived in a city just over HALF of her property size. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kowloon_Walled_City
Having been to Kowloon 20 years ago, It sure seemed like every 5.5 acres housed way more than 30k people.
Uh, Kowloon is still there, just not the walled city. Kowloon city is 400,000 people per square km.
Ah my bad, I mixed up the two
No worries. The walled city without a government must have been hell on earth. The Sim City-like giant blocks that were each basically a city when I was there were were crazy enough.
Just to be clear, the photo above is of her childhood home in Wyomissing, PA, and the property is definitely much smaller than Kowloon Walled City. I'm guessing you're talking about a different property?
