Oh I didn't live there, I just worked there. I lived in Frederick County, Maryland, which was quite a bit better of a place to live than in Reston. I agree, those laws are quite a bit uptight -- no place should have obnoxious zoning like that. But the area is pretty clean, seems to not have much of a crime rate, and has decent roads and places to eat. A good place to work, but I'd live in Frederick, MD any day over Reston.
