So are we not taking into account the need for those people to be sustained by farming? Cuz unless you're gunna start flattening mountains you're not feeding all those people with that small amount of land.

We have plenty of land for people. Just drive through rural Texas. I'm not sure what you're arguing here? Of course there is a finite amount of dirt. Just like there is a finite amount of literally anything. The point is, land is not scarce to a point where it should have extra subjective value over its utility value just because of "scarcity" there is a shortage of land available to plebs. There is not a scarcity of land.
