If someone else moves there, then isn't it the same problem again? It's true that more people could live in my house than just me, but is that an efficiency gain? Two adults might require double the amount of commuting. More trips to the grocery store, things I don't have to do at all like trips to daycare, etc. We have these homes in the suburbs which are more suitable for large families than a lot of the housing in the city, but they might actually be the worst people to occupy them because that's more transportation demand Two adults living in one unit is more efficient than those two adults living in two units, with everything else held the same, yes. The energy required to heat, cool, and supply other electrical needs for one unit housing two people is much less than twice the amount of two separate units. --- Take me for what I am -- who I was meant to be. And if you give a damn, take me baby, or leave me. <cite>Clench281 posted [p:958147344] in Fighting c...
