Actually, 22 million people
is rather high, especially with 21.5 million of them crammed into just 20 sq miles. Maybe it's possible, but no one would be able to go anywhere without being stacked 10 people high in the street.
First, I'll adjust the people per dwelling in HDR down to 1.1. This is maybe more likely to be single workers than families, but I'd also like to know where the 648 dwellings per acre figure came from. Is it based on somewhere real world? Or is it from one of those planned mile-high arcology projects?
