I agree.  I think what works in one location just wouldn't be feasible 
in another sometimes.  We all make different choices based on what we 
think is important.  If one is a M.D. and can write his own 
prescriptions, I'd guess he wouldn't be as worried about how many times 
his kids get sick. If one lives in Arizona, rammed earth homes are a lot 
more feasible than in places that get 55+inches of rain a year.  It 
would be a lot easier to commune on a bike to work in say Miami than it 
would in say, San Francisco based on climate, terrain, etc.
Still, I think it is odd that there is no information about how he lives 
now.  Most people that live super frugally, like in recycled houses and 
such, you can find pictures of their home and lots of articles about 
their current lifestyle.
