The closer-in preference IS new.

The job growth in VA is really what is driving this for many people. There are too many people in MoCo who have at least one spouse commuting to VA. My commute to DC hasn't changed much in 15 years. Its actually gotten somewhat better when school is not in session but DH's commute to VA has doubled to tripled in time. If you're going to spend an hour on the bridge or beltway segment going from MD to VA in the morning and VA to MD in the evening then there isn't much left over time to spend going further out into MD. Its also maddening to see the opposite direction lanes being free and clear. Thanks MoCo.[/quote]

[quote]Maybe. But generally, people are wanting to be closer-in. Also, I'm not sure what you want Montgomery County to do about the fact that the jobs are generally in the center of the region, rather than at the outskirts.[/quote]

The private sector jobs are not at "the center of the region" they are in VA -a different state across a bridge. I would like to see Montgomery County bring some of those private sector jobs over here to MoCo. It can even be on the eastern or western side.

All that says is that Maryland shouldn't have spent all of that money to build the ICC.

Also, the jobs in Virginia are at the center of the region. The region is more than Montgomery County or even Maryland.[/quote]
