The sprawl makes getting out to the actual rural areas take forever.

I disagree. There are boonie-ass parts of MoCo that are only 45 min away. Harpers Ferry is like an hour

I’m from MoCo which actually does a decent job at controlling sprawl with the agricultural reserve (a third of the country must remain farmland). My comment is more directed at getting out to Shenandoah but the 270 corridor is pretty sprawly, too. Growth in Clarksburg has been huge. I got back from near Harper’s Ferry in ~90 minutes recently and that was with no traffic.
