Take even the largest cities. NYC metro area at 18M and 7000 sq km. That is still only 6 people per acre.
7000 sq km is 1.7M acres. So about 10 people per acre. By the same density, Factor e Farm would need to have only 300 people to achieve the same density. And the question is - can 100% sustainability happen at the scale of Factor e Farm to match the population density of NYC, but in a completely ethical and healthy way?
