They will eventually if the city starts driving people away.

A little tough to answer as others have mentioned. There are certain choke points depending on where you’re coming from that make commuting by car difficult. Doing a Google maps search to each working location and setting the time to 8am could be helpful. They use historical patterns for traffic.

I’m partial to Hyattsville as I live in a somewhat DC adjacent neighborhood. Think it’s a good value /good location. Has a “community” feel which I value. I don’t mind commuting from NE by car to various places in the area although getting to 395 or the beltway can be an exercise in patience. As dumb as this sounds you really just want to go the opposite direction of the majority on your commute (out of the city in the AM into the city in the PM roughly). Metro still isn’t back to it’s free flowing best. Toll roads can make commuting easier but would look into pricing. Can be very expensive (they use basic supply and demand pricing that can spike) but time saved is worth it. Hope this helps.

Exactly. Every Reddit looks the same when it comes to crime. You have people in r/Dallas saying the city is soft on crime and no one is trying to do anything. I’m moving to DC next month and I asked people that live in DC currently about crime (a couple were LEO) and some specifically mentioned Reddit and the people obsessed with crime on it. It’s wild.

but wait..can i ride my ATV to work? what are bike lanes? any recommendations for pizza slices? What is a pizza slice? Oh and I'll be in town this weekend for 6.5 hours, will there be anything fun to do? Does anybody eat at restaurants?

Things were worse, though. Don't think it's wrong to realize we're on an upswing, but still doing better than we had been.

Almost time for another “IM QUITTING. CANT DO THIS ANYMORE. IM MY OWN ENTERPRISE.” Episode

All jokes aside. Def appreciate that dude keeping his ear to the street. And talking about issues that matter to DC people not just the latte sippers uptown.

“15 best DC Brunchs” “Preserving Downtown greenspace, why we can’t support homeless encampments” “50 reasons Why it’s cool to be a NIMBY”

There are parts of SE that are safer than parts of NW.

You can get to Wheaton and back to the DC line before you turn into a pumpkin. It's doable if you move quick enough

It was 'across the river' for us. But honestly we usually just said 'southeast' and ppl knew we weren't talking about the hill.

Read through their history, trolls out trolling.

If you can bike to the metro at one of the many stops on the red line it should be OK.

Arlington might be closer .

Trolls gonna troll.

> Conversely, what's it like living in the city itself?

Old Town (assuming you mean Alexandria in Virginia), Hyattsville, Hollywood (I assume you mean southern Maryland, and Marshall Heights/Capitol Heights are all very different places, all except Old Town are kinda boring themselves (and Hollywood is like two hours away).

I've been looking at Bethesda. Is using the metro viable for getting into the city? I need to get to JBAB, I'd figure I'll take the metro line, and bike the rest of the way after getting off the green line.

In any other place, property values drop when crime increases, and vice-versa. Not here.

Too bad there weren’t enough good guys with guns around or that never would’ve happened /s

If it helps, it's only 1 person per 1.8 days right now, so your night might've been clear!

What’s CRD here?

Even 5-10 years ago compared to today is much better it seems though. At least it looks better from over here (Baltimore)... You guys have your shit together compared to us!

Was pretty wild. Maybe should stay away from medical news. 😆

Pretty accurate on crime though.

From Bethesda and northern suburbs, you can take MacArthur /Canal Rd , Massachusetts Ave or River Rd/Reno into downtown

Yep, one of its ears did look like it was clipped.

very broad question. Are you commuting from Rockville? Are you commuting from Upper Marlboro? Very different answers depending on what part of maryland you are talking about
