As far as Joey's motivation to be car-free, I believe every word he wrote. My guess is few people would admire him and less would hold his "motivation" as a role model for anything except as an example of getting over with minimum effort and sloth. But there are always outliers who admire all sorts of behavior to include indolence. I also suspect that few would choose to voluntarily live on a total income of $5,000 to $10,000 every other year if they had the ability to do any better for themselves. Doubles or triples the doubt if anybody else is dependent on that income.
Obviously if someone has the ability,
motivation and lack of ethics to game the "System" to supplement that income in order to live a life of leisure and sloth there might be some who find that a challenge.
