I agree even if it doesn't work out as anticipated.
The whole thing makes me angry. I do NOT begrudge people luxury homes, but everything is out of kilter. That and condos are all that are being built. Those homes are HUGE and not energy cost-efficient. The reason there are many people can build those homes is that (1) they do make a lot of money and (2) interest rates have been low, stimulating the building industry. The net effect is that, as a society we are robbing peter to pay paul. The rich in both parties are pulling the strings, and they are going to look out for themselves first. That's politics.
Instead we should be building earth berm homes, smaller ones, blah blah, so the whole thing does not make any sense.
To further complicate the problem, because our society has become so fragmented, people are not as self-reliant as they could be. With a two-parent home, the father can do a lot of things to reduce energy costs that women can do but are harder for them.
My home is very energy inefficient which is partly my own fault. It needs complete new insulation in the attic, caulking, I bought the wrong kind of storm windows which are impossible to have nice shiny clean windows the way they are designed, some are missing storm windows because I can't pull them out myself, need help for that. So it goes. I will deal with it. I have taken no help from any government program, even low-cost loans from the city because I am perverse about certain things and feel that other people deserve it more. But a lot of them are playing the system for all it's worth. For the very rich, it is not an issue if you have so many millions, it's chump change to pay your monthly bill.
Now I need to get off this kick and start to figure out my medigap insurance, because I intend to purchase some kind of supplement. What a mess that is going to be to sort through!
