Liberal (might be a pro for some)

Yikes. Reston is over 20 miles to DC. Definitely not 10 LOL. [/quote]

map Hunter Mill Road to MacArthur Blvd.  It's 15 miles or less.  Maybe 10 is a stretch, but pp wasn't that far off.[/quote]

most people don’t think of it that way.  [/quote]

Exactly. It’s at least 20 miles. I just looked it up on Maps and it’s 22 miles from Reston to DC. No way in hell its 10.

Being 10 miles off is a huge discrepancy. You can like Reston, but to say it’s 10 miles from DC is a lie.[/quote]

it might literally be somewhat close to mark, technically.  But again, nobody would ever consider it that way.   It’s like saying that  Ballston is “steps” from DC.  Anything is “steps” from one place to another.[/quote]

DP here who lives in Reston. Sorry but Reston isn’t anywhere near “steps” away from DC. Even 1 mile can make a huge difference in this region if it’s a heavily traffic area. 15 miles in traffic can easily translate to over an hour in this area, especially during rush hour.
