LOL. You’re brain is so fried you can’t even do simple arithmetic. In fact, you just need common sense to know your 8 million figure is wrong. Jacksonville already has a population of more than 800,000 - and they aren’t packed in standing shoulder to shoulder. (Your arithmetic error was in assuming that a sq km equals 1000 sq meters. It doesn’t. A km equals 1000 meters. A sq km equals 1000x1000 meters, or 1 million sq meters.) Let me simplify for you, in terms Americans use. 1 mile = 5280 feet. 5280x5280=27,878,400 sq ft in a sq mile. 1 person standing (top profile looking down) = 3 ft wide by 1 foot deep = 3 sq ft. 27,878,400 sq ft divided by 3 sq ft per person = 9,292,800 people per sq mile. Jacksonville is more than 800 sq miles. 800 x 9,292,800 = 7.4 billion people So, as I said, the entire population of the earth could fit in Jacksonville if packed in side by side. And Jacksonville is only 4.4 millionths of the earth’s surface. Less than an ant on an elephant.
