[quote=Anonymous][quote]While its true that peripheral suburb to suburb commutes will not end as long as we have so much decentralized employment, I believe many people commuting from from Maryland to Virginia do so because housing is cheaper in Maryland, in part because of restrictions on development close to some major employment centers in Virginia. That is being addressed in some ways, but more can be done.

And I did not say that alone would solve the problem, but I think it should be addressed.

Not sure everyone in western FFX would agree. More importantly, I am skeptical the Fairfax Board of Supervisors which has placed a huge bet on the success of Tysons, would agree.

I live in an inner jurisdiction in NoVa, and used to live in Fairfax. I am quite familiar with conditions in the suburbs.[/quote]

It is worse every year.  And, FWIW, many people in Virginia work in MD--so, it's not just housing prices.  I have two relatives who turned down or left better jobs in MD because of the commute.   It's not just housing.
