Yes, good points. Sometimes with existing housing, you can achieve smaller lot size by doing in-fill housing. This can mean a lot of things, but turning garages and basements into apartments sort of achieves this effect.

Sorry... I'm not trying to dampen you enthusiasm for green housing, but I am concerned when I see people destroying perfectly functional housing to achieve a "green" goal. Often, I suspect, the net energy saved is minimal. Or even negative.
