I specified Southern California. If you’re unfamiliar with the dynamics of the region it makes sense that you think it’s outlandish.

The "dynamics" of SoCal are atrocious, you get the privelege of wasting your life away in traffic to do the simplest things.

Public transit is a bad joke too, the light rail in LA waits for cars to pass at intersections! I've never seen that in other metros, as rail always gets signal priority, but it is a great way to drive away riders...

We can discuss the practicalites of commuting on the sun, too, if you like.
