I am in MD at the moment, but could be in DC with a
5 minute walk.
Considering how centralized this area is(From my house in MD, I can be in DC
or VA within 20 minutes(when there’s not a wreck on the Capitol Beltway, it’s the weekend, there isn’t some pro/college/
HS sporting event, it isn’t snowing/raining/
too sunny, or some other disaster) the whole “Dad’s in Maryland and I’m in DC, wah wah, wah,” argument is not really a factor.
My morning commute is a minimum of 50+ minutes to go about 14 miles.
Edited to add: This is one of those "If you live in the
DC area, it is what it is" things.
