1) How the article focuses entirely on fossil fuel consumption rather than something much more damaging, like housing
2) The author's key takeaway is this is great and we should use it to manipulate people into consuming less fossil fuels by making their usage punishingly expensive.
In particular, 1) is a societal wrecking ball, because no home means no stable environment to raise children, means more trouble in the pipeline for the next generation.

They believe in overpopulation and therefore they want to curtail it by making housing punishingly expensive.
