Arrow Are gas prices hitting your extreme DC commute? ABC News / Nightline wants to know.

Did you buy a home in the exurbs of Washington, DC looking for cheaper real estate prices, lower property taxes and a better quality of life? Did you think a longer commute was worth the benefits of living further away from downtown? Are you now being hit hard by high gas prices adding to the cost of that commute?

If you commute to the DC area from the exurbs of PA, WV, VA or MD, and high gas prices are painful, please post or send us a direct message.

I don't have an "extreme" commute as I live in the inner burbs of DC but I'm here to say that I honestly havent seen any improvement in traffic.

Gas prices became to climb 4 years ago. It was clear it would be a long way. The wisest decision would be to get more expensive place near a work. Cheaper place far away are actually pricier now; but it does not add any value to a house. it is even makes it lower. I expect citi population to rise pretty soon.
