[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel your pain OP, but 40-60 miles one way is a lot even 2-3 times per week.  If you are determined to leave, I'll throw out the suggestion of Anne Arundel county in Maryland.  Some of the areas are really conservative, but there are liberal parts as well.  The pace is slower and overall the people are much friendlier.  There are a handful of snobby areas, but still they are twice as down to earth as they are in DC.  [/quote]

Most anywhere in Anne Arundel County still puts you at at least an hour to DC.  the closest to DC is Crofton, and traffic along the main road (route 3) in crofton is becoming increasingly intolerable (even on weekends).  So I don't think moving there will necessarily fix the issues the OP is complaining about.  And Crofton is still an hour's commute (if not more, depending on where you are headed in D.C. and whether it's raining).

The other areas of Anne Arundel that are nice are a long haul to D.C.   I love Annapolis, but I don't consider it commutable (even a few days a week) to DC, especially in the summer.  The few people I know who commute from Annapolis are part of a van pool, so they have a very strict/limited schedule (there's only one departure and return).

I also get the feeling that most of the locations 40-60 miles from DC are actually growing rapidly, and so I'm not sure how much of an escape it will be (as far as traffic goes).
