Doesn't it encompass everything that is a commute-able distance from DC? The long form is DC/MD/VA. It totally makes sense to me. Other than the fact that it is the same acronym as the Department of Motor Vehicles. Other places use terms like 4 corners or tri-state areas. What's the difference? It's just shorthand.

We just purchased an oven 2,000 sq foot townhouse in Baltimore City with a 2 car garage and rooftop deck across from a school and large park. We will be limited to gardening in raised beds and containers, but otherwise, zero compromises on what we wanted. We are within walking distance to two grocery stores and countless bars and restaurants. You can have both city life and space if you want it.

As someone that use to commit a fair amount of petty crimes, I never once thought about the consequences before or during the acts. In the rare instance that I didn't think about the consequences, it was afterwards, which isn't super helpful in preventing crime. And humans have an uncanny ability to justify things that they have done, even subconsciously. "Those people have so much, they won't really miss it." "It's a coproation with billions in profits, they don't need all that anyway." "They have insurance that will cover everything." "My life sucks, this isn't going to make it any worse." "Atleast I'd get 3 meals a day and a warm bed in jail." "It's not like I have other options." "If I don't do it, someone else will. I might as well be the one benefiting from it." .......
