[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hmmm.  I am a daily metro rider. [b] I appreciate having a parking garage near metro[/b].  I usually take a bus to metro but it’s not always practical—for instance, if I need to stay at home with kids in morning for a two hour delay, there is a 30 minute gap between buses.  Or if I need to pick up kids for a doctors appointment after school, taking bus to my house then getting the car to drive to the school adds 30 minutes.  So on those days I park in the county lot at Bethesda.  Without that, I would have to drive into DC on those days.
Sadly, I do not live within walking distance of Bethesda metro—those houses are insanely expensive!  The Circulator is close to worthless for me, as it doesn’t go into the neighborhoods or even near them, right?

Yes, of course you do. It's convenient for you! Totally natural and understandable. But that doesn't mean it's a good thing for the county in general to have lots of parking for Metro riders in Bethesda. The disadvantages outweigh the advantages.
