[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone needs to refer to this thread on those endless threads in the real estate forum on why walkability and proximity to metro go for a premium.  Traffic is the most unproductive time suck.[/quote]

Or anytime someone posts a thread about how terrible metro is.  I've been home for hours (and I live out near vienna)[/quote]

Once every 10 years. Bfd[/quote]

It is more than that and today's traffic is a similar anomaly.[/quote]

People need to stop working in DC and push for more jobs in the burbs instead of living in shit shacks.[/quote]

Aren’t al of these places people mentioning in the burbs?[/quote]

Or, people need to live closer to their jobs in urban areas or walkable to metro and dump their cars all together.  It's a healthier lifestyle than spending hours in traffic per day.[/quote]

No thanks. Walkable might make me skinnier but people in the city have horrible attitudes, are rude, don't know their neighbors and have general terrible mental health. [/quote]

You do realize the name of the website you're posting on? Commute length is one of the largest factors in life satisfaction so "terrible mental health" does not have any basis in reality.

We're on Capitol Hill and very close with our neighbors. DW and I garden with the woman next door and if I needed someone to check on the house I would have my choice between 3 people. We don't engage in the suburban BMW X1 vs X3 pissing contest so I guess in that sense we're not that close.[/quote]

Someone does not even need to live in a place like the Hill to avoid most of what happened yesterday.

Somebody working in Tysons could live in Vienna or Falls Church or Reston as an example instead of MoCo.  I mean I get it that some people can't do that because they recently changed jobs, or their SO works in Md, or whatever - but I suspect more would live close if A. We made it easier by building more housing close to suburban job centers (Lots of new hirises in Tysons, but there has been NIMBY opposition to densification in Vienna, in part of North Arlington, and especially in Reston.  B. If more people were less focused on large detached SFHs as the best way to live [/quote]
