    The majority of ******** and moaning about driving around in Pittsburgh boil down to it being an old city and tight to get around and it's geography making it more difficult. You hear the complaints a lot in Winter going in and out Pittsburgh with it being as hilly as it is.

    As do I, but there are many who think NYC is the absolute devil. The truth is, the entire northeast is old. While most of the rest of the country is wide open with a few exceptions, the northeast is still going with the OG style, lol. And there's nothing anyone can do about it. You can't alleviate traffic woes because there's no room to do anything. it's just better to grin and bear it. I still don't think New York is that bad, there's plenty of places to hide out if you know where they are. New York, much like Boston or any other major northeastern city, takes skill to manuver.

    I think Balto and DC are worse just because of the sheer gigantic geographic sprawl of the crazy stupid congestion across stretches of certain hours of the day. It's a morass. NYC probably has proportionally fewer people driving cars than the Balto-DC flustercluck.

    PHP:
    NYC metro area covers cities besides NYC and covers parts of NY, PA, CT, and NJ. Which is a much bigger cluster**** then Baltimore and DC combined. You can cruise through Balitmore and DC during graveyard hours. You can't do the same in NYC.

    Not sure where you get 30mph from but I don't want facts to get in the way of your trolling.

    Truth is, there's something insanely beautiful about going in across the GWB on a clear summer night, glancing down at the City. Then as you make your way over to Throgs Neck, cross over there, make you way to Long Island and out to the Eastern end by daybreak to catch the sunrise....yeah I'll do it all year long, thank you very much.
