I think he's making an exaggerated commentary on the bad traffic in that area.

Just a guess.

I have been to other cities in the country. And BELIEVE me, what other people consider "traffic" is no comparison to what we have here in LA. Try taking the 10, 405. 5, or 110 ANYWHERE!

I am from LA, but I lived in Jacksonville, FL for a bit and we had to slow down to 40MPH at one point and my companion started complaining about traffic. I stopped at the top of the Dane Point Bridge and made them walk down the other side.

75 minutes to go 8 miles doesn't sound outrageous to me. it's taken me that long in seattle before and LA traffic is a good deal worse than seattle.

I'm not gonna argue that LA isn't the worst, I've never been there so I don't know. However, Atlanta definetly is a close second. You can't go anywhere slow, much less fast.

Atlanta IS horrible. I-285 is 8 lanes in one direction at one point and it still gets down to 5 mph every night at 5:15. Unacceptable.

Yeah, I try to forget sometimes and it never works. I come down every year to catch a Jaguar game. Maybe next time I will let you know. We'll go to The Dollhouse and cruise the JTB for hookers.

There is no way LA's traffic is worse than Newark, New Jersey.

It's about the same. I've been to both places in different times of day. Newark can be worse because of snow.
