[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in Bowie and commute to D.C.  I have neighbors who do the same.  Some take the MARC; others drive.

It's actually a shorter commute than it would be from Silver Spring or Bethesda.

A lot depends on where in D.C. you are commuting to, whether you can avoid the beltway and some of the major chokepoints.

But whatever.  I wish this thread would get closed. [b] I'm tired of reading what people who don't live in Bowie have to say about a commute they never make or a neighborhood they're completely unfamiliar with.   [/b]

When people are accused of racism for not moving to a particular area, that is sort of hard to avoid. [/quote]

No one is accusing people of being racist for not moving to a particular area.  They are accusing people of being racist (and rightfully so) for saying that Bowie is a bad choice because of the demographics and that it won't be a good choice until more white people live there.  That is racist.  Like it or not, if part of your argument for not moving to Bowie and discouraging others from moving there is because of the racial demographics, then you are being racist.

I don't care if people don't want to live here.  And yes, for some people, Bowie does not work commute-wise.  If you work in Northern VA or if you work in certain sections of D.C., the commute probably won't work.  However, if you work in other sections of D.C., the commute from Bowie is better than the commute from MOCO or VA.  It all depends on where you are going in D.C.  So all of this "it takes 90 minutes to get to D.C." or "it takes 30 minutes to get to D.C." is all irrelevant if you don't specify *where* in D.C. you are trying to get to.

And aside from all of that, if you didn't move to Bowie, haven't lived here, did a test run *1 day*, then don't act like you are some sort of expert who *knows* Bowie.

There are also public transit options in Bowie that are very good, depending on where you are headed.  But I'm tired of arguing with people who have flat out decided anywhere in PG is a bad move.
