Used to spend some time Rosslyn with the Army and in Crystal City with the some of the contractors.  Hated the parking =$$$. 

When I was driving from Aberdeen, I passed Tyson's Corner and didn't even recognize it.   I like the convenience of NoVA - everything is there but the driving has gotten much worse.  Went by the area where I used to live and could not believe how built up it has become in the 7 years we have been gone, and the traffic has correspondingly increased.  It used to be that you could take the Metro for a reasonable amount, but the fares are now much higher too. 

Unfortunately, I see Birmingham going by way the NoVA area and Montgomery has some prospects too.  I don't understand why the state doesn't realize that if you continue to build homes and don't address the traffic by building more roads, you are going to end up with gridlock.  If you wait until you realize you have gridlock, it's too late, because you'll never catch up.
