    I'm a local driver in PA and I will take driving anywhere in PA over Brooklyn any day of the week and twice on Sunday. I also Deliver regularly to Baltimore and will take that any day of the week and twice on Sunday. Honestly having driven in Baghdad, Gary Indiana, and Brooklyn I'd take driving around in Baghdad and Gary Indiana over Brooklyn at least Baghdad and Gary have reasons for being ********* I can't say the same for Brooklyn. Not so bad? People are telling a lot of lies in this thread.

    los angeles is vastly overrated for how bad it is to drive there. Many places are worse to drive than LA. It's just slow driving do to congestion is all.

    What places would that be exactly? I deliver to Boston plenty of times when I was OTR and LA is a walk in the park compared to that. Any city in New England except for maybe Augusta was worse then LA. Miami is worse than LA. The big problem with LA is congestion and it just being slow. I don't remember having to do a 90' back off a highway to get into a customer and then immediately having to do a blindside 90' back to get into the dock anywhere in LA like I've had to do in different places in New England or even in home state PA.

    Been to quite a few places in PA and yeah it is tight but if PA is worse than NYC, I'm awful disappointed in NYC.
