I agree that, as someone with a car, it’s very inconvenient. However, these areas aren’t trying to cater to people with cars at this point. They’re trying to encourage public transit, walking, etc. It’s cool but I’m not interested in driving in circles for an hour so I don’t go into the city. I barely even go into Arlington and Alexandria. I moved out to Fairfax and there are more than enough restaurants, etc. further in NOVA to keep me occupied. I’m not about to stress myself out over parking. Highly suggest anyone else who hates the parking issues does the same.
