I'm not saying it is wrong to choice that type of lifestyle, but I'm guessing us YOP gobblers don't chose that lifestyle because we don't find it remotely attractive. We want a big house and a quite park near by because we want space for our kids to to have toys, or a dog without going down 7 stories for every piss, or to have our large families over regularly, because we want to take our family to a small playground with a few people at it rather than a crowed pathway.

I totally agree with your life style choices.
I just think you should pay to sustain your lifestyle.
I guarantee you that my living in a 600 sq ft box means less carbon, less resources, less cost, less footprint than your lifestyle. You should be paying for that choice. This is one reason that I'm pretty excited for the carbon tax to come in - you will be paying the true (still heavily subsidized but not zero) cost for inefficiently heating your 3000 sq ft home and needing to drive 5-10km to get anything done.
