Nah. Silver line. I'm on jt right now. 35 mins to Foggy bottom.

  This might be fine for 20 somethings, but for the older folks with families looking for homes, I don't think Foggy Bottom or the surrounding area offer any realistic real estate. Correct me if I'm wrong.

    I meant that yoh can live in Reston with (more) reasonable housing costs (1600ish for a 3br 2bath townhouse 10 mins walk from metro) and take Silver Line to work in the city... you could also do it the other way if you are a 20ish who wants to live in DC and work in NOVA.

      my friend did it the other way, bought a place near the Chinatown metro. He figures it is better to live near the hub rather than on one of the spokes.

        True, but it's all tradeoffs. While not the murderhouse that SF/SV real estate is, it's still a little pricey in the middle of the Red line. You can get 3-4x the house if you go 25-ish minutes out on one of the "spokes" and still get to the hub pretty quickly. Even spoke-to-spoke isn't out of the question if you can stomach the extra 30 minutes or so.
