@Parking

why INSIDE the beltway? most of those cars are coming from OUTSIDE the beltway. Park and rides in Vienna, Fair Oaks, Centreville, Chantilly, etc would do the job.

@The nerve

People are trying to come up with choices. It may not be rebuilding Rome, but its a half billion bucks (and no, that wont transform things right NOW either). Suggesting that, among other things, people's job and location choices have to respond, seems reasonable. Now that's easier for some people than for others, but that's okay because the auto capacity that's there will be allocated (by price) to those who need it most.

"I also prefer not to pretend like I am some urban pioneer, moving into a quasi ghetto thats close to transit and run down bars charging 8 bucks a pint, then spending every waking moment blogging about the crime and trash you have to endure on a daily basis."

You can prefer whatever you want. The question is, does it make sense to spend a half billion bucks to respond to that preference? Sometimes it does, and sometimes it does not. An emotional rant really doesn't make the case though.
