Yes, it means you have to be organized and do all your town stuff at once which is good sense in the carbon footprint way even without a drive. HPP only saves you 1/2 gal but if you go every day from HPP....
After growing up in LA close to everything i needed in a 10 mile radius but living 35 miles from the ocean... makes me not mind my one or two trips to town every week... and if I plan right, I am like Obie, I dont go any further than Pahoa! [
]But I should be saying... oh you dont want to live down here, too much sunshine, not enough traffic, dont go by a grocery store or gas station to get to tidepools... yah thats it! [
