My personal experience shows that short distances are a great luxury. We bought an old property. The neighbors are elderly people of retirement age. In total, 3 older couples directly next door. They are really great. The children can play, talk with the neighbors, no one really annoys anyone. Problems are briefly discussed and that's it. The children also have fun. The kindergarten is just around the corner, the elementary school too. So it’s faster to walk than to get the car out of the garage. For shopping, we go to Penny on the other side of the street. I don’t remember the last time I went shopping by car. Before, we lived just under 2 km away. There, the car was used much more often to go shopping or to kindergarten. You always think 2 km is not a distance. That’s true. But quickly grabbing milk or taking the children in the morning is then done rather by car.
