Improves the use and need for efficient transportation. 

Imagine picking up the moving expense from California to NYC with vehicle transport costs too. 

All of the public transportation infrastructure is there, the dirt is there, but the city wants to maintain parking lots and light industrial / one story commercial here

Private transportation and airlines will get impacted.

Do lots of searching and find a decent deal on a car that you’ll be content with and will allow you put money into real estate instead of transportation.

I live a pretty minimalist lifestyle and don't require a lot of things outside of the essentials of food, transportation, and shelter.

When you start you need to look at every expense (housing, transportation & taxes are the big ones) as dollars that could be invested into real estate, earning you more dollars. 

Any sort of bills - food, living expenses, medical, insurance, transportation etc will eat that up instantly.

My property was acquired by Sound Transit (public transport doing an extension of their light rail).

It focuses on the highest expenses in most people's lives (like housing and transportation) and suggests alternatives to make significant impacts on your finances.But the book does talk about making additional income, too.
