Somehow I doubt that commuting from Hagerstown and Gettysburg to Washington DC will appeal to many future job holders....! Idiots maybe.

You'll be right if a physical commute is an ongoing, daily requirement. I can envision that not being the case for all, at least not every single day.
New housing developments in Hagerstown, Harper's Ferry, and Gettysburg are still selling like hotcakes. These buyers aren't commuting into DC but into Rockville, Gaithersburg, and Germantown. It's still a mean commute but not impossible, as the real traffic headaches on 270 sometimes don't start until you get as far south as Gaithersburg exits.
I just hope the crash holds off until I can sell my Montgomery County house in the spring. Or if houses in my area decline in price, maybe prices in the area I'm moving to will decline as well, I hope.
