General Discussion

I live in Northern Virginia, not DC proper. Rush hour is from an hour or two before sunup to sundown. Everything revolves around the traffic, and how to avoid it. At one point I had a job in Tyson’s Corner (an upscale NOVA inside the Beltway mixed use complex that is larger than most cities). My commute from Western Fairfax was unpredictable - anything from 45 minutes one way on a good day to two hours one way during the worst of the rush. I couldn’t handle it and finally had to quit. Lucked out on my last job - a predictable 20 minute commute each way pretty close to home. It was heaven.
