[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a millennial (1988) and I don't want to live in a McMansion. Nationally, people are moving into more walkable, mixed use neighborhoods with different types of commercial space and housing. Look at Rockville, Pentagon City, and Tyson's. They're all trying to make themselves car-free destinations. I'm not sure it'll work (especially in NoVa) but I think it's wrong to assume that we'll all pack up and move to the burbs once we have kids. [/quote]

Car free will disappear as a preference ten minutes after driverless cars become mainstream

What seems more likely, a bunch of people paying a premium to live next to the tracks for a choo choo train o[b]r people living anywhere they want and having their car drive them in private relaxation[/b]?[/quote]

You really think driving around in this city with a driverless car will be "private relaxation?"  I don't think it matters who is driving.  The car will still be starting and stopping.  There will be fumes.  You have to sit there for a decent amount of time.  It's far from relaxing. [/quote]

I find the 40-45 minutes I spend in a car listening to the radio, music, or assorted podcasts infinitely stress-inducing than worrying about whether random noises in the night in the city meant we were being burglarized yet again.[/quote]

I live in DC and have never experienced this.  We live in a safe neighborhood in NW.  But regardless, I didn't ask about what is more relaxing than noises in the city so your comment is a little strange.  I asked about if people will really find driverless cars relaxing and an experience they enjoy.  I don't think driverless cars will make people want to take on a lengthy commute.  It might help a little but in the same manner that driving a nicer car helps.  I understand where you're coming from to a certain extent as I find the bus more relaxing than catching a ride with my wife.  However, I would never seek out the bus to relax and spend time for no reason anymore than I'd choose to drive in traffic to work in a driverless car.  [/quote]
