The population density of the world isn't uniform. There are huge empty
places. I don't know how reliable the estimate or how reliable my
memory but, a few years ago I remember reading that if you took the
entire human population of the world, at the time, and transported them
the US states of Texas and Colorado, and divided up the land equally
among them, each person would have a bit in excess of 6 acres or a
little over 4000 square meters all to themselves. 6 acres by the way is
the traditional measure for enough land to feed a family in Ireland.
Now I wouldn't want to try to feed a family of four let alone a
traditional Irish Family on 6 acres in West Texas, but, there's plenty
of room for abandoned places. The world isn't nearly as crowded as one
would think.
If you think old abandoned places are bad, what do you make of the "New"
abandoned places in China, they're still building empty cities there.

Regardless of the quality or otherwise of the photos, it is quite
astonishing that many of the buildings & structures could be abandoned
at all.
