Herndon is not as exurban as you think.


Herndon is textbook exurban. Seriously. Stop trying to make non-interesting, non-center city areas into something they are not.

Uh, yeah it is. Any place off/in between that DTR / Rt 7 corridor is a total PITA to get to already, even without another 50,000 people in the mix

I wish they would put it even further out. Like in Winchester or something. We don't need it so close.

They buy a new house. Bezos will not move and just travel in as needed.

Ugh... DH is considering a job with AWS but this would more than double his commute.


Mine too. It will add at least 20minutes and sometimes especially coming home it can be 90-120 minutes.


Mine is already working for aws. It’s a good job, tell him to take it at least for a year. The stock alone is worth it.

As long as it's not in my backyard, it is ok. I doubt it will be a boon like people think. Ashburn would be fine but not NOVA would be better.
