Assuming you live in Southern California, the suburbs, or pretty much anywhere in America, we are still very reliant on cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some thoughts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Walking is supreme<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First of all, is the ideal life for lifestyle in which you just don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t need to drive?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, currently I am very lucky that I could just walk to the local gym. This is good, as while I walk, I gain many interesting thoughts and ideas during my walk, I could think more, it aids in my digestion, and also I could blog while walking, or even blog while walking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First thought: the more time and steps you could walk in a given day, the best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most privilege lifestyle is a life in which you could walk 30,000 steps a day, or maybe be outdoors 12 hours a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Is there any benefit to driving?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A simple thought is that a small commute is actually good. In someways, there is some zen while driving. For example, I actually do enjoy driving a little bit every single day, whenever I drive Cindy to do yoga, visit the local Costco business center, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also a fun innovation that I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been doing is doing some vlogging while driving, I just put my GoPro hero on Ultra Wide mode, and I place it where I typically put my phone GPS mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, driving a little bit every day is good, maybe a total of 30 to 40 minutes a day, combined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Modern day work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A lot of people in modern day life, must commute to work. But, should this be the case?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, if your job just allows you to work anywhere where you have a Wi-Fi connection, why drive or commute or be stuck in traffic to get to the office? To me this is insanely bizarre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Takeaway point<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To drive a little bit every day is good, but it seems the goal should just be to reduce the total time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps this way, having a Tesla or auto pilot is actually not necessary. Maybe better to have some sort of cheap manual transmission car to just get from point a to point B, and to actually enjoy driving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The question:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
