Downtown, corporate McLean-bricks & concrete, corporate juggernaught of Northern Virginia. All of the trees have been paved under to make way for corporate offices/malls/hotels. I'm sitting on top of what used to be a farm at Tysons Corner in a four story cookie-cutter apartment. I can see Bechtel's corporate office from my window. Heard of them?

If I wasn't going to University here, for Gov't & Politics, I would relocate to a more rural area. G.Mason University is one of the more affordable public institutions w/ a good Public Policy Dept. http://policy.gmu.edu/
