[quote=Anonymous]OP, the commute is what's going to kill you. I used to live in PG County and would go occasionally the mall in Columbia for kid stuff, and that drive sometimes took half an hour. Traffic in this area is highly unpredictable - which is to say that there are times when it's predictably terrible and other times when it's terrible at times when it should be good. The people who are telling you that your husband can drive to Columbia from Chevy Chase or Bethesda are out of their minds. The people who are telling you he could do it from Silver Spring might be accurate 1 day out of 5. Either way, those places are absolutely a recipe for you and he never seeing each other.

The MARC is not really a good option as the MARC station nearest Columbia is still about 15 minutes away, though I suppose it does depend on where in Columbia he'd be working.

I think you may have to suck it up and move to the suburbs. It's a lot easier to get to downtown DC than it is to Columbia. Honestly, if I was facing the choice you're facing, I'd probably stay in Brooklyn. There's just no good solution.[/quote]
