Uhmm.... it's more like 194,112 acres. Sourced from Wikipedia and google calculator. 303.3 sq mi in square feet Do that google search and you'll see that's 8,455,518,720 square feet. Then you divide by the population of the city... 1 021.87336 square feet per person Or... a 30 x 34 foot room (approximately), if it were all flat, which it obviously isn't. Now, if all those people decided to head to Central park, then it would be bad... 4.4 square feet per person. Well.. enough of that for now... no hyperlinks in this comment to avoid confused deputies... again. --Mike-- Central park alone is 843 acres.

Do that google search and you’ll see that’s 8,455,518,720 square feet.

1 021.87336 square feet per person

Or… a 30 x 34 foot room (approximately), if it were all flat, which it obviously isn’t.

Now, if all those people decided to head to Central park, then it would be bad… 4.4 square feet per person.

Well.. enough of that for now… no hyperlinks in this comment to avoid confused deputies… again.

There's 235 square inches of space for every person in New York City (8,085,742 people crammed into 303 acres) A Boeing 747-400 crammed with 467 seats has 867 square inches per passenger. With so little space, is it any wonder that NYC has such a reputation? It's not that the residents are inherently rude and violent - if you had 8 million clones of Mother Theresa and confined them to a 303-acre space, they too would be rude and violent within a couple of years, too.
