[quote=Anonymous]I live in the city, 6 blocks from the metro, which I used to commute. We definitely use it less on weekends, partly because of the delays caused by the track work, which I hope will be done in a few years. The traffic in the city is usually pretty easy on the weekends, barring a major event, so it is faster and easier to hop in the car rather that walk to the metro, wait for a train, etc. We do sometimes use it to go to the airport (National), which takes a bit longer but is easier than schlepping everything from the car to the shuttle to the terminal (and also a good deal less expensive). I also use it when I'm going out at night and know I will be drinking. I do think being close to a metro is generally good for maintaining home values. And when DC is older I plan to tell him that he has to use the metro to get around, rather than have me drive him everywhere. The other thing to think about is commuting if either of you gets another job.[/quote]
