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. |
Yes, my commute won’t be that different after the move. I think Ballston sucks balls but oh well! |
Yeah that neighborhood wouldn't have been my choice, but maybe you'll like it once you're there! |
I couldn’t really figure out any other one that worked. We might end up renting a SFH in the area which could be a little nicer. It does have a lot of amenities so hopefully will grow on me! |
why so mean? most of us with kids can't leave at 7:10 but good for you. also if you can only get there under 30 if you leave before 7:15 am or after 7 pm, you should say that upfront |
Do you have a problem with facts? |
| Why so rude? Does it make you feel like a big man? |
I love arriving early too. But who do you think makes all of the traffic after 8am? |
Why does it matter? |
| It matters if you claim a commute is just 30 minutes IF the only time it's truly that short is at a really early or late hour that doesn't work for most people. |
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. |
| DP. It's all a bit silly because the 9-5 worker bees with a fixed schedule that aligns with the standard rush hour aren't likely to have the types of jobs that will allow them to afford a nice house in Arlington, Falls Church City, or McLean anyway. |
