Is the answer large swaths of land that isn’t great for farming?
because the cities don't have that much land. its the farm land one would need to reclaim
There is plenty of land, but not where most people want to live.
It’s a massive waste of land though.
Doesn't "lots of land" works for the US too?
There's plenty of land in the United States. Maybe it'll sit on some of that?
Only if that land can be used for growing crops. Nearly all of it can't be used for growing crops.
a lot of land can be dual use (eg reservoirs / building roofs) or is of negligable value for anything else (desert)
Or farmland, because that's just unused space, right?
Is there no land to build on left as everything is agriculture?
