    Minneapolis.

    Whole #### town is torn up right now. I live a block off franklin, can’t cross 35 without a 15 minute detour at least.

    I live 4 miles from my yard at work, takes me anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour to get home.

    I started coming into work at 10am so I could leave at like 6:30 to avoid the worst traffic.

    I used to like it here, it’s trash now. I can’t justify the cost of living anymore.

    You 2! My dad in the 70s used to yell at drivers there "'Show me state? I'll show you how to drive!"

    Oh, you thought it was safe to get anywhere in a timely matter on a Saturday? Think again!

    LAs traffic literally stretches 60 miles all the way into the hills and desert. No city comes close. Stop it

    I ran containers from Long Beach to Phoenix. At the height of rush hour, it took me 4 hours to get from LB to Banning: 100 miles averaging 25mph.

    I've taken three hours to go 15 miles in the Twin Cities. Average works out to 5mph. You know not whereof you speak.

    yeah he doesn’t. We get jammed up here for no #### reason at midnight on a Wednesday. It’s insane, it was never like this 10 years ago. It gets worse every day.

    It's taken me 2 hours to get 10 miles in the middle of nowhere Missouri before.
    But it's not the norm

    3 hours to go 20 miles is everyday in Los Angeles area

    OK, whatever, kid. You've been everywhere and done everything and I don't know squat. Keep thinking that.
