“Little Bit, how’s your dinner? Good?”
“Tiff, honey, you need me to put something in the blender?”
“Middle Brat! You’re home! Fix yourself a plate.”

We drove through Atlanta on our way back from vacation a couple of weeks ago....I DO NOT understand how anyone can deal with that traffic on the daily.

I was literally telling my wife, I've driven a lot of places in the US, but never anywhere as bad. I haven't been to La or New York, but for where I've been, nothing is as bad as Atlanta. Anything below Gainesville now is getting just as bad.

LA traffic sucks. NYC, you don’t drive. You take the subway, cabs, or limos. DC has wretched commuter traffic, as do Chicago and Boston. Luckily, I no longer have a commute into Atlanta traffic. Once, I saw a TV interview with the mayor of Jacksonville in which he favorably compared his city to Atlanta. The interviewer noted that Jax already had Atlanta’s traffic. The mayor shrugged.

I drove in Jacksonville several times, never been in dead stopped traffic. Not saying it doesn't happen, but Atlanta is every day. From the time we hit 85 to spaghetti junction, we dead stopped in 6 lanes of traffic about 5 times. I mean every lane, around 12, and all at exits/on ramps. People in the far left lane will dead stop traffic because their exit is 100 feet away. I watched a car a while back turn completely sideways, and drive crossways to the exit. Just ignorant driving.

Agree, but I've heard people complain about how bad it was. I'm sure New York and LA is worse, but Atlanta is the worst place I've been in as far as traffic.

Yeah on our trip down traffic was horrible from Calhoun all the way until about an hour and half past Atlanta...

Yep. Metro Atlanta is auto required, and the development of traffic corridors has not matched the development of residential density. Infrastructure capacity isn’t sexy, so local governments are underinvesting in it until water/sewer, stormwater management, and roads are stressed enough to potentially impact elections. Then, it’s too late, and retro-fixes are inadequate and painful to the populace.

This is why I was irritated with Nashville when they voted not to build a subway last year. They had a chance to get out in front of the potential population boom that will happen in Nashville over the next decade or two and they failed miserably. Now everyone, even people who don't live in Nashville like me, will pay for it with super congested streets and interstates.
