Okay completely irrelevant but I feel like infodumping and it's crazy how THIRTY TOUSDAND PEOPLE lived in a city just over HALF of her property size. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kowloon_Walled_City

Having been to Kowloon 20 years ago, It sure seemed like every 5.5 acres housed way more than 30k people.

Just to be clear, the photo above is of her childhood home in Wyomissing, PA, and the property is definitely much smaller than Kowloon Walled City. I'm guessing you're talking about a different property?
