So if there is 2.2 square acres for every living person on the Earth, how are we overpopulated?

BTW: Dessert and mountainous terrain have been removed from the equation.Note: My first question stated 2.2 miles per person, I should have wrote 2.2 "acres" per person.

I think the rate at which the population is increasing is the main problem. If we stopped fighting each other and used all of our ingenuity to adapt to high density living, then I`m sure that we could manage it, give or take a few psychiatric problems. Trouble is, I don`t think we`ve got time.
