I feel this is very biased and somehow useless.
For example, I want to buy a house but I can't afford one close to my work because all I can put in it is a mandatory 33% of my income per X years.
The few € I put or save from my tank has no impact on my housing potential (we're talking France).

On the other hand a shorter commute makes for more free time wich I really like and my kids like it too.
Plus the less fuel I burn, the cleaner the air.
It might not be a lot but it's better than nothing.
