Florida and Texas cities are dropping fast, I guess decades of infrastructure improvements are starting to pay off.
Noticed DC dropped relatively. Perhaps completing the Springfield Spaghetti Bowl and the HOV/HOT lanes on parts of the Beltway in VA are helping too.

Someone in mboffice complained to me how bad 281 traffic going into San Antonio is. I told her to get back to me when she tries going through the Lincoln Tunnel at 4pm on a Friday afternoon.
Not Austin. They had rather spend money on art festivals and banning plastic bags. The traffic here is bad and getting worse with all the interlopers moving here.
The next big crisis will be water and they don’t get it.

One of the growing bottlenecks in Californicator land is the HOV lane now controlled by liberals in their Piuses.
While thousands are tied up in traffic the libs buzz by in their Piuses and other tax supported so called electric cars.
Also, the restrictions on the number of Fast Track lanes to keep union toll takers working causes massive delays.
A few years ago, some rare common sense happened with Caltrans that has eliminated a lot of traffic on one of the freeways across the Delta to and from the East Bay and Gay Frisco.
They widened the bridge across the straights and stopped charging a toll to go south into the high traffic areas.
Then, they really helped the commuters with Fast Track lanes after you crossed the bridge on 580 including some very fast north bound lanes for Fast Track users. Now on most week days, even during rush hours, if you are in the left lanes, you can cruise through the toll booths into 780 northbound at 60+ mph.
