Is there anyone in netland who is working at a site which is
more than three miles away from 
a. a source of food
    or
b. a place to live

I have always believed that one can work anywhere one wants without
owning a car or even being able to drive.  The few times one has
to do clothes shopping, go to a doctor, go to a court one can take
a cab and end up saving money as compared to the cost of owning
a car, let alone operating it.

I wonder if there are any exceptions to this.  I like to walk and
consider three miles a reasonable distance to walk to and from work
or to get food, etc.  There are places where the winters might be
too severe but I wouldn't want to live there anyway.
