[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fairfax is the definition of suburban.

An exurb is an area connected to a large metro area that used to be rural. Places where people get up at 5 am and get on the VRE or those commuter buses. 
 
I live downtown and find the posturing from city people (usually recent transplants from godknowswhere) over how impossibly far away places like Tysons are to be so tiresome. Get over yourselves. [/quote]

Really isn't that hard to get to DC from Fairfax, Vienna, Tysons, Oakton, etc., etc. These are not exurbs.  [/quote]

My spouse does the MD to Fairfax commute.  Clearly you have not done it.  On a good day it takes 70-90 minutes to get home.  About 45-50 minutes on a good day to get there.  There is only one bridge to go and traffic is terrible.  Throw in a rain or snow storm and it could take hours.  Those commuter buses are not helpful if you are not in the city or your office is not near a drop off point, plus you have to pay for them.[/quote]
