- I can't speak for everyone, but I can tell you why I live 16 miles
- from work. It's called housing expense. The distance from work
- was mandated if I wanted to be able to afford housing. As you
- should know, the price of housing decreases as you head out from
- the beltway. I would also guess that a lot of people live further
- out for that reason also.
