Is a drive to work part of daily preparations? Because raw this would coincide with daily preparations, which occur after a long rest, but before adventuring
So is the drive to the donut shop to meet the party before an adventure part of daily preparations? Or does stumbling down the stairs of the inn to start plans with the party, while eating breakfast, post rest and therefore an exploration activity? If you roll initiative to see who gets breakfast first, does that interrupt the rest period?
Yeah, so the poll results are in and 90% of people say a Short Rest does not allow riding a galloping horse for an hour, running a marathon, or building a barn.
A Long Rest is a period of extended downtime—at least 8 hours—available to any creature. During a Long Rest, you sleep for at least 6 hours and perform no more than 2 hours of light activity, such as reading, talking, eating, or standing watch.
If you're all staying at an inn, you can probably walk downstairs and be fine.
However, at level 5, each character can start building bastions, home bases, and they arent required to be party-adjacent.
And none of the rules for short or long rest say anything RAW that would indicate you can ride a horse or walk a few miles as part of a Rest.

"If enough people homebrew something a certain way, then it gets picked up in the next iteration."

The folks who said all three of those ARE short rests, I have no idea what rules they're reading. It's not RAW and it seems pretty clear its not RAI.
"Is a drive to work part of daily preparations? Because raw this would coincide with daily preparations, "
I don't understand where you are read that "daily preparations" are RAW for the definition of LongRest.
