    Born and raised there and throughout my years, I've seen it get worse and worse. What made it the last straw for me is back in 2004 when I drove from work in Burbank to Highland Park where my home was, it took me 3 hours to drive 16 miles on the 5 to the 110 and just blew up at that moment. I said "F*ck this sh*t. F*ck this city and f*ck this whole system!" So I moved out of LA. Best decision I've ever made in my life! Now it takes me 18 minutes to drive 14.5 miles to work (including part residential street driving) and when I'm on the fwy, I drive at 70 mph on average, during "rush hour". I may not make the money that I can in LA but it's so worth it. F*ck LA!!

    Part of the problem is human behavior. LA area is a selfish society. People are not considerate of others. How about slower traffic keep right? Or, not speeding up to slow traffic? Which causes accordian effect. Let merging traffic enter roadway. Maybe people should not slow down to text. Better public transportation is great but we could do better with current options.
