I lived in CA my whole life, including the last 10 years in the Bay Area, before moving to Austin a year ago. I can’t for the life of me understand what you’re talking about.
I-35 is bad, that’s about it. The freeways around the rest of Austin are still moving even around rush hour. None of those hold a candle to the Bay Bridge on a Friday afternoon, not even remotely close to as bad.
- scoofy 5y agoThe reason is that there is no alternative. You'd be a fool to take the Bay Bridge on a Friday afternoon. BART is there, and any sensible person would take it. In Austin, when traffic is fucked, you're just fucked, especially if you have to cross the river.

- pcurve 5y agoAs someone who lives in northeast, there's just something very unsettling about highway road design in Austin. (and probably TX too). Where I live, roads, ramps, exits are more integrated into surroundings.
- earth2mars 5y agoyou moved during COVID times where most people still not on roads. I guess when things become normal, you would see actual issue. Just wait for few more years before you can start complaining the heat, traffic & cost of living. Especially if you want to live in an area with good schools!
