I liked Waze when it was suggesting seemingly out of the way secondary and tertiary routes, that had less stop and go traffic. But the deep dive into neighborhoods I found offensive, and inconvenient (stick shift, stop signs every block). So I removed Waze from my phone.
And now Google Maps has starting doing it. They have an avoid highways option, now they need an avoid neighborhoods option.
