[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If there was no traffic, I could get to my office downtown from my home in 10 minutes.  IN traffic, it takes anywhere from 30 to 45 minutes.  [b]It sucks but unless you are moving closer in to a point where you will actually walk still plan to have to make some kind of commute.[/b][/quote]

Just about everyone I know in DC-proper and close-in is still spending 30-60 mins. commuting each way.[/quote]

Yep. I live 3 miles from work and regardless of whether I drive or Metro, it's often up to 30 minutes due to pure congestion. Off-rush hour, it takes less than 10 minutes. I can't get myself out of the door earlier, but I'm sure it would help! Just the nature of the beast around here.[/quote]

Agreed.  I used to have a 20 minute walk and now drive 20-30 mins to the metro and ride another 25-40 mins to get in to the office (metro is so inconsistent).  I've never lived in a suburb and the first few months I was pissed every single day with the traffic and inconsistency of my commute.  Eventually, I just stopped obsessing and now I don't mind it at all.  Find a radio station or podcast you enjoy and stop being so angry.  You'll get used to it. I also experimented with leaving home and work at different times and found my commute is much shorter when I leave a little later, and I still get in at the same time.  I don't have kids so drop off and pick ups aren't an issue.  [/quote]
