Yes. This by the way is why I don’t believe people who claim to work from 6:30-3 or whatever at my old agency. I am positive that they arrive more like 7:30 but just believe it is more like 6:30.

Not true if you have to go over the 395 bridge.

Yeah I've been scratching my head at people's claims you can get to downtown in 30 from most of Arlington. Never been true for me during rush hour.

Take the metro dog.

I work at State, 23rd and C, behind the Lincoln Memorial. I live in Del Ray - 3 blocks from St Elmos- and I get to work in 17 minutes most mornings.

Ok but OP says K st which is a totally different commute. Plus you are stuck in your car and have to pay for parking.

"Stuck in your car"? What does that even mean? And parking is onsite and free.

There is not a person on this planet that would choose a 40 minute commute via walking, bus, and rail over of 17 minutes in a private car.

It’s not 17 minutes door to door. It just isn’t.

Lies about commutes are like lies about penis size. Just in the opposite direction.

You moron. It's 14 minutes right now. Stop trying to pretend you know anything about DC.

F u c k. You really are so stupid.

16 mins if you click your heels in your living room and you’re at your desk on 16. You’re not accounting for non actual driving time. You are not going from your living room to your desk in 16 minutes, so it’s not a 16 minute commute. End of story.

That's not.... how commutes work.

Took me 14 minutes this morning at 7:26

Suck on it.

Leaving Arlington by 7:30 is glorious. You can be sitting at your desk with a mug of coffee by 8, which is a completely normal time to start a workday.

I love arriving early too. But who do you think makes all of the traffic after 8am?

Why does it matter?

A short commute during off-peak commuting time isn't relevant for most people. Most people don't arrive in the office by 8am, which is why there is so much traffic and commutes are long when most people are commuting. Hence the longer commutes for most people.

OP really should have said when they need to arrive in their office because that makes a huge difference.

For those outside this area, I should clarify that most people in the DMV don't arrive by 8am. Don't worry. We work later to compensate for later arrival times. Different cities, industries, etc have different cultures in this regard. IME, part of the reason for later working hours in DC is the need to work with people in central, mountain, and west coast time zones.

Utter nonsense. The entire Pentagon parking lot is full at 7am. That's 26,000 people.

Most schools in the area start at 8 so all the teachers are there well before that.

FBI, CIA, NSA, etc are all fully staffed at 7 am.

Who are you lazy f^^ks that think getting to work at 8 is 'really early'?

+1.

But, remember, that 90% of the posters here are low income, uneducated elderly hicks. These people wouldn't even know how to function in a collaborative, white collar, office environ.

There’s nothing collaborative about “working” from 7-3 and not being available to work when most of your colleagues are still working.

As one PP stated "normal" working hours are industry specific.

I don't think the PP who cited the Pentagon example is from here. They don't seen to know where it is, how people commute there, or how it operates.

My experience was that in the government there was a defined contingency that did not work industry standard hours but were technically allowed the schedule of 6:30-3 (or 2:30 if the decided to ignore the unpaid lunch requirement). Industry standard was actually to be available until 5-6 but these few just didn’t care and I have my doubts that they actually arrived by 6:30. I eventually just started leaving them out of meetings when they were unreasonably unavailable. Which is no doubt what they wanted.

I live 7 miles from Pentagon and I worked there from 1999 to 2016. Suck on that, sweetie.

You are proving my point.

IME one of the variables was who your counterparts were and their standard hours. There was no point in arriving at 7am if you worked primarily with Congress, for example, so a super early scheduled would not have worked for a congressional
Liaison office. Just one example. Lots of different industries even within government. Also, lots of different jobs in DC, not knowing at government. But most people seem to commute into DC after 8am, which is why the traffic is so bad. If you have a mom-standard schedule, lucky you. You can live further out. Your commute time really depends a lot on when you need to be at work.

It's a given that if you get your a$$ in the car before 7:30 you can get to the State Department more quickly than if you left at the normal time, yes. But the State Department isn't really downtown DC and it's still not 16 minutes door to door.

Wow y'all are fiesty. If I leave by 7:30 I can leave Ballston and get to F&9th within 15-20 minutes. If I leave before 4:30, I can get home in 12 minutes!!! at best. Usually another 15-20.

But there's a weird window if I hit 66 right at 9:30, I can also do it at that time.

Another weird window is leaving my house at 8:50 (but not 9).

That said, I usually leave at 9 and have a 40 min commute.

395 makes me want to die and kill so I avoid it.

Irrelevent. PP was correcting the false assumption that a 16 minute commute from Del Ray to State HQ was not possible. It's not only entirely possible, but if you play with the numbers yourself on Google you can clearly see it can be as brief as 14 minutes.

You are hilarious. OP asked this question: "Where can we go with good/excellent schools and be able to get in and out of downtown (let’s say K st) within 30 minutes max"

OP doesn't care about your commute to somewhere else entirely. Your response is entirely irrelevant. Your need to prove something about your own commute is just kind of strange.
