When I work 12 hours 10 miles from where I live, what you propose is impractical. The car gives us freedom to live and work where we choose.

That much is obvious. When you can’t find gasoline you can walk. Ten miles isn’t that far.

I know it’s tough, but perhaps you could use a bicycle (especially with fewer motor vehicles on the roads) or move your work and/or home location.
