Also, a lot of people will actually use their legs to walk to get their mail. Depending on the location, direction of travel, etc. it will be easier for many to make their weekly pilgrimage on foot rather than by car. It would be interesting to see some actual statistics on how often people actually check their community mailboxes and their method of doing so. But the fears of gridlock, noise, emissions, litter, etc. seem to be overestimated by some.

My mailman must hate me, we check our mail maybe once every 2-3 weeks.
Its just all crap.
