Are you telling me more than 90% of DC residents drive to work? What?

No, the original source shows DC metro at 10-20%. Op left out DC for some reason.

The metro stations to outer raytheon acres basically put you in the confluence of multiple highways and large multi-lane roads. There's basically no affordable housing being built directly near metro stations. Even the ones put purposefully around some of these dense developments require you to cross like 5 lanes and through some parking lots.

Look up the new stations along the Silverline and the last mile walks you need to do to get anywhere useful.
