It was a while after I moved here that I started hearing that
Chesapeake Beach was a "commute".



There are plenty of commuter buses going to DC daily from at least as
far away as the edges of St. Mary's County. I take one at least once a
week from Calvert County, and my wife takes one every day. Usually takes
62 minutes in the AM and 70 minutes in the evening, for about $4.00 a ride.

Insanity. Is DC, PG and Montgomery really that bad these days?


Has nothing to do with bad.

They must be bad or you would live there. It is why I left Oxon Hill
and moved 20 minutes farther down the road.


That's just you projecting your fears onto me.

The "badness" might actually just be that people hate living near the
city for any number of reasons. The urban sprawl has made the close in
suburbs very urban in more ways than just the complexion of the people
who live there. I am even starting to feel it here but only when I get
up to US41. As long as I go west, I am still in a 40 square mile
upland and aquatic preserve where I can usually find places to boat
without seeing another soul. It is still less than 15 minutes from an
international airport, I-75 and 3 regional malls.
