For young renter's that is not true, but for the rest of us, you are correct.

A living choice I made 20 years ago which allowed me to walk to work for 18 years (school for the first 2 years and 3-different offices). For the past two years I've worked out of my home saving even more gas.

And the last two years my wife has seen the light (sort of) and can walk to work, but rarely does.

It takes some long term planning but it can be done. My choice was based on driving 18,500 miles for six years and having only a worn out car to show for my labors. I got smart, you all can too if you have not already done so.
