249. Here's a great essay debunking this nonsense.
http://www.geocities.com/RainForest/3046/overpop.htm

"...there will be sixteen houses per acre with four persons to a house, each house on a plot of 100 by 30 feet, in groups of four. This results in a density of 64 persons per acre, (which is considerably less than the 100-200 people per acre that is average in many cities already!). Each plot of four will be surrounded by service roads and a network of pedestrian access ways...

...once all fifty eight million people now living in the British Isles are housed in this luxurious way, the entire city needs to be only 44 miles in diameter! And to continue the Great Plan, all the necessary public buildings and factories to provide work for the populace are built within an outer ring, bringing the total diameter to 62 miles!"
