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.

It’s the middle of the day. Moron.


Are you trying to double down on your idiocy or did you not realize those results were for 7:45am?!!??

F u c k. You really are so stupid.


+1. Here is 0700 tomorrow. Spoiler aleret- it's 16 minutes.

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 obviously don't know where you live in DC now, but I my commute from Arlington to DC is the same as many people I know who commute within DC. That part of Arlington is super convenient to many DC offices.


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!

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.

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.

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.

It’s the middle of the day. Moron.


Are you trying to double down on your idiocy or did you not realize those results were for 7:45am?!!??

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.
