I'm not. I rent a 105 year old house. I know what high costs are. I frequently pay $250/mo for heat in the winter, and my room is still frigid every morning.
I know elevators and water pumps use energy. It's a given. Towers however will likely be more heat efficient.
You completely miss my point though. The infrastructure cost to the city is much lower for high density development, and the external energy costs are also much lower. Low density development has huge externalized energy costs.
Big capital items are also split many more ways in big towers, so if a builder isn't a miser, then fancy heating solutions and other things are much more financially viable. That's also efficiency.
