This is where Waze really comes in handy! (TikTok screencap)

Picture of a freeway with the opposite side backed up with traffic and the caption “The moment you see traffic backed up on the other side of the expressway, your brain automatically starts mapping out a new route home.”

Congrats. Your ability to live there is heavily subsidized by everyone who lives near other people in properly dense cities. Car-centric infrastructure was built to cater to your lifestyle inside those cities, to the detriment of those who live there. The traffic is (minutely, minusculely) your fault. Mostly the fault of those who advocate for you, but you still reap all the benefits.

    Yeah, sorry. Was being unnecessarily snarky.

    Thanks for your apology! It wasn't necessary, but is accepted. I sympathize, though don't fully agree, with your position (and, at least for me, associated anxiety that might lead to hostility).

    Hopefully, someday soon, an ideal world with minimally impactful individual transportation comes around.
