Didn't you hear PP?  Since she has a lot of flexibility in her schedule, on a good day the commute can be as low as [b]one hour[/b]!

:shock: [/quote]

It is a short commute for those who think their only option to move where the commute would be much longer than that.   Most of the people I work with may be geographically closer but have worse commutes.  And I said that a [b]typical[/b] day is 1 hour, a [b]good[/b] day is 45 minutes.   And we both were working in DC prior to the new gigs and our commutes were about 30 minutes.   Depending on where you work (and as we have experienced that location can change despite best efforts to live close to your job), yes it is a viable option that is a better commute than many other areas in the region.[/quote]

If you really think that is your only option, you are not very creative.  Unless you work in an equidistant location between two amazing jobs, you have plenty of options of better commutes.  I hate it when people claim that they have no options when in reality, they just don't care if they waste much of their lives commuting.  This is not to say that there aren't people that don't have options, you just should not count yourselves among them.[/quote]

Commute is only one factor in the package of things people are seeking...affordable housing is another and at the time there were no comparable houses at the same price within the same distance and proximity to DC.  It was the best property for the money and a good commute to DC jobs at the time.  We bought here before the salaries got to this level and when our jobs were in DC...of course if we were making what we are now back then we would have had more options for a starter home....I definitely agree with that.   We probably would have bought in DC but incomes were too low back then to get what we wanted in the city.[/quote]
