Excellent example! After all, the vast majority of jobs in the DC metro area are located in freeway medians.

The majority of jobs in the DC area are located outside of the city, more so if you consider that the DC area now essentially extends west almost to the WV line, and south past Fredricksburg. Not having a car puts these jobs out of reach and always will. It also limits your flexibility as to working hours and changing locations.

It all depends on what you bring to the table. If you have the skills, education, and experience that are in demand, you can dictate where you work. If you don't you can't. You go where the jobs are. That means up at 4:30am to drive to that construction job in Loudon or Spotsylvania County if need be. Guess what, Metro won't take you there and if you don't take that job, someone else will and that person, thanks to the mobility offered by their car, will get further than you in this economy.

But hey, at least all the cool kids that work at the non-profits can take a cool streetcar to play mini-golf at a bar on H St.
