They designed the city to promote the Automobile industry. This is the end result

I still think The Bay's traffic is worse or at least equal. In Chicago now and i am WFH now but when i had to commute it was heaven in comparison.

Poor city planning.

I would have to travel from the Richmond area to south of SF everyday, It was fukking hell. At least i could take BART, but so much time was wasted in traffic that barely moved. Everyone is funneled in to only a few chokepoints if you wanted to get to SF from the east or vice versa. Not to mention going to San Mateo across the bridge or using the Dumbarton bridge. At worse if there was an accident near the Bay bridge i would have to go across the Golden Gate then over the San Rafael Bridge, fun times.

Breh so true. Even driving the outskirts into San Francisco is horrific. I remember driving from Stockton to Richmond, shyt was brutal. Driving from Sacramento to San Francisco between 2pm and 7pm. Forget it lol.

IMO driving in traffic around water and bridges is always 10x worse than land. That's why Los Angeles is much easier traffic wise for me
