[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The wfh spouse is right that it would be much more fun for him to live in Georgetown. But the commute to Farragut North and the one to Bethesda would be pretty awful compared to living in Bethesda.

If you really want to have one car, you have to live near a red line stop. The other person has to drive the kids. I don’t see how you could live in Georgetown happily without two cars so they can go in different directions each morning. Which is another problem about Georgetown - where to put the cars.

If you have one car in Georgetown, WFH spouse would probably end up driving two round trips a day to Bethesda for school pick up while the other parent uses the bus or something. That’s really, really a lot of driving. Traffic can be horrible. It would make it hard to enjoy walking to a cute lunch, if they even had time.

Maybe when the kids can drive, you move to Georgetown. [/quote]

I live in Georgetown and work close to Farragut North. I walk there..my husband bikes. There are busses too. You absolutely do not need a car for this commute. [/quote]
