I know that public transportation is often considered below the middle class, who just want to drive their cars everywhere, but I passed the point of doing that years ago.

I moved downtown to get away from that. You should see the long faces of the drivers I walk past on my way to work. I wouldn't trade with them for anything.

Of course, now DC's housing has priced any but the totally insanely wealthy out of the market.

Demand for the Metro system is increasing, and it can't expand fast enough to accomodate.
