Where did I ask anyone to downsize? In the 70's the average size of a house was 1,200 sqft and today the average house is about 2,500 sqft. Conversely, utility usage has gone down because of better insulation and energy efficient appliances in our houses today. We don't necessarily have to build smaller to lower our utility usage though you are more than welcome to do that if that is what spins your wheels...
So, you can live in a mansion with only you, your wife, and a server living there, and tell the rest of us to use less energy?
