Dear Dr. Gridlock:
I disagree with your advice to Ms. Solomon about her and her husband's commute. An obvious answer is to choose one job and live near it, and have the other spouse commute via Route 15.
Take into account who works the longest hours, who has to be home to greet the kids from school or who needs to be nearer the school. Also consider whose job is most likely to be permanent. Maybe one or both of them will not stay long at the same job.
My pick would be Manassas Park. Prices are way down there, and there's a VRE station if either gets a job inside the Capital Beltway.
It really depends on whose job fits which city. I think it's nuts to encourage both spouses to commute to other places when gas is so expensive. Why should they both be stuck in traffic?
