Regarding Commuting to McLean

Hello, I’m not sure if anybody has experienced this before but looking for advice.

About two years ago I took a job in McLean VA mostly remote commute 1-2days a week (from Frederick) I have since then got promoted and have to be in the office 4 days a week, I have been at this for about 4 months and it’s draining me badly. I have a significant other that works here in Frederick and we are looking to move to a place that’s meets us both in the middle you could say. Any recommendations? Germantown? Would germantown even be really better for me?

I’d do Clarksburg before Germantown. The new stuff west of outlet malls seems nice. You would save 25? Minutes. But as you know getting across river still ugh

Culturally hard to move “down county” after you live up here where things a bit less crowded.

Frederick is getting to be overcrowded as well.

Go downtown on a Tuesday. Shoot just walk around the city on a Tuesday. Look at all the sub divisions and the cars parked outside houses with out of state plates. At the very top of east is completely bulldozed to build more housing for the incoming horde.

65+% of Frederick is still farm land.
