In the world are there more doors than people?

Question

This is a question that has been bothering me for some time

Two important points:
1: Third world countries
2: Office Buildings

Answer 1

The World Is Over Populated...And There Is Not Enough Doors For Alot Of These Peoples To Enter...And If We Don't Start Controlly Are Urges...We Well Have Multuble Families Liveing Behind The Same Doors...Stop The Human Over Population, Spayed Or Neuter Your Spouce...lol...Or Yourself...

Answer 2

I'd say doors, if you count cars that have four doors.

There are about 6 billion people on the planet. And a lot of them are out in the bush in third world countries. But I'm going out on a limb and guessing there are more than 6 billion doors. In my parent's house there were four of us, and with three bedrooms, two entrances, a kitchen, living room, and two bathrooms, and closets there were twenty doors. That's a five to one ratio of doors for a modest house. That's also not counting all the closets, and cabinets or doors with two doors on the same frame (like screen doors, or glass doors)

Answer 3

I think so. The USA probaly has a door to person ration of 10 to 1 which would give us 3 billion doors. Given that the majic number of dorrs we have to get to is 6 billion the rest of the popultion only needs a door to person ration of .6 to get more doors than people.
How did i come up with a door ration of 10 to 1 ( conservative).
We know the US has more cars than people so we have 2 doors minimum per person.

If you look at hotels,Office buildings, retail outlets, gas stations these are numbers that can be pulled and you will start to get a feel that there are many doors per person in the US a door to person ration of 20 in the US will cover the entire planet. If you really need a count of buildings that will certainly cover it let me know I will give them to you.

Answer 4

Yes - basic math applies. Even in third world areas, each door has 2 knobs. A door could be a blanket or a piece of tin. Each person needs...

Basic needs - both require privacy & should not be the same room

Bathroom & bedroom

2 rooms = 1 person.
4 billion folks = 8 billion doors

Answer 5

I think there is more people than doors, just in Mexico City Alone, there are 20 million people, most rooms house 6 to 10 people, and think about Africa too where situation is similar. May be only in industrial countries like the US, Canada, England or Germany, these are the only places where there are more doors than people. overall, almost 5 billion people in planet earth, I don't think there is 5 billion doors, may be 2 or 3 billion doors for 5 billion people

Answer 6

Considering there is an average of 1.5 door per individual, more or less, I would say yes, there are some 7 billion doors while there are 5 billion people at any given time on the surface of this planet.

Answer 7

In the USA, probably more doors than people when you think about our apartments and homes and how many people live in them. But because of third world countries, I would say, on earth, there are more people than doors.

Answer 8

more people than doors obviously. Third world people lives on trees door is "a nice to have" hahaha. And majority of the population comes from third world countries.

Lets see for the singles living in a studio apartment:
entrance plus toilet plus balcony sliding door. Ratio of 1 person or two (other half) to 3 doors.

A family of four in a house:

main entrance, kitchen door, guest toilet, back door, sliding door to the backyard, small door for cats and dogs, 3 doors for the rooms, plus 2 more for bathrooms, one for the attic, another for the balcony at the masterbedroom, one for the garage, one leading to the garage.

Hell lots of doors for four persons.

Now for a village in third world countries where natives lives in huts:

A village of 200 no doors.......hahahaha no toilet, no kitchen, no balcony, no garage, no main entrance as they are subscribing to open door policy....and that the level of social deteriotion is not as high as the developed countries...

Answer 9

Umm...let's see. Since my house has more doors than family members, I would have to say yes. Now you might say that some folks don't have homes, but then you have to realize that there are lots of business buildings everywhere that have doors too, so those could count for the ones that don't have homes. So yes...I think there are more doors than people.

Answer 10

The answer is relative depending on your perspective.

A poor person from a third world country has but one door for his family, like most in his over crowded nieghborhood. He thinks its foolish that there are more doors than people. In my neighborhood, and yours, we have more car doors than people.

So, if you think it's obvious that there are more doors than people, you really have no idea how many poor people there are in the world.
