about 25 single family homes.
about 25 single family homes.
You put in one house, I put in one house. There are no resultant houses for others to consume remaining.
Another way to think about it might be manual farm labor. If an acre of food grows enough potatoes to feed 1.2 people (idk if that's true), and it takes 1 person to labor over. The acre is only producing enough food to have .2 people as non-farmers.
