Sure it's great to have a new 4000 square foot house that uses the energy of an older 2000 square foot house, but a new 2000 square foot house would use even less while saving on materials.

Definitely valid, but you aren't likely to see a 2000 sq ft urban home built with geothermal climate control. The cost would be too prohibited.
Let's not kid ourselves... we didn't stop by as serious buyers, just to check it out. These homes ran $1.7M.
