This was a very common issue with Subaru engines requiring a complete $3k teardown with less than 30k miles for folks with very short commutes.
I would start be doing an oil analysis every month and see how bad the situation is, with this engines very tight rig seal it may be fine.
Ideally a bike, an electric vehicle, or a very small 4 cylinder the heats up fast (Scion IQ) for the commute would be perfect for your situation.

Or you could read his original post (does anyone do that anymore?) which should make it obvious that your post is pointless...
Get an oil analysis every month? Even if he walks to work
MOST of the time?
