I hate to say it u/mrstillbirth, but your the traffic. Urban sprawl, reckless driving, and poor alternative transportation options has cause more and more traffic. I'd suggest moving closer to work, getting a job closer to home, or commuting by bicycle.

The times I find my self navigating the city by car has not been so bad compared to NOVA traffic, so I consider ourselves lucky.

I moved here 10 years ago from Manassas. It's alright, but I prefer it here. I'm trying to buy a home at some point before the prices get out of reach from our new NOVA neighbors.

You don't, just pop off shots into the air every now and then, maybe fake a mass shooting at Dogwood Dell? Honestly, I'm gonna miss that police chief, he was trying to make this city affordable again :(

They've been trying and it doesn't work. It's also agglomeration benefits are on hell of a drug.
