Not true. It depends on where the person doing the job lives. They might
live within walking distance.

If they were living in a different place she might have been able to walk to
them.

Don't know about you, but when somebody says "will I need to drive
there?" one of the answers isn't "not if you relocate there instead".
While it's true that is technically a possible solution, it falls
outside the intended range of the question and is rather similar to
the alleged Irish response to requests for directions of "I wouldn't
have started from here!".
