"Juan Bocher, whose commute to his job just outside Washington has gone from 30 minutes to nearly 90."
Ok Juan is just stupid. Get a job closer to home and it will cut down on all that traffic. Loudoun is still nice, despite what some complainering weiners say.
If there is nothing but housing developments and strip malls between you and your job, you may not be able to get a job closer to home. A lot of people are in this situation.
