Exactly. It's all about having a mental model of how other people will probably behave.
In Boston, even though everyone drove aggressive, they were predictable. So I felt fine.
Whereas in San Fran, while not as aggressive, other drivers were just random. So I was terrified.
I'm older now, with much reduced acuity and reaction times. My recent visit to El Paso was the most nervous driving experience that I remember. Way worse than LA. I felt like a dog trying to paddle upstream, surrounded by river otters playing.

YMMV.
