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.

This seems like a pretty deliberate misrepresentation of what I was saying lol. Even if this is a good point... okay say two people living in two units absorb into one unit, you still have the problem of the vacant unit that will now either be going to waste or will just have a new person doing those same energy consuming things. If we had a huge housing deficit this would be a great way to help solve two problems at once, but instead we have the opposite problem of tons of people being homeless despite tons of vacant houses.
