The "transplants" have taken over. I call them "transplants" because they come to the D.C. area for the politics and jobs. Once here they start "building" and "home owners associations" which they attempt to turn into "towns". Then they leave.....

.....What is interesting is that we do not have 24 hour stores or functional mass transit. They channel people into the time slices of high traffic.

If I wanted to get to work at an office around Metro (train), at 0500 I would have to drive, Metro does not open till 0530. We have buses that run throughout Prince William County however they skip regions making them unviable. I had to fight to work from 06:00 to 15:00, have electronic access and I am not required to interface with the customer.
