I have spent very little time in LA proper, except a couple trips through the city on the interstate on the way to SF and back. The traffic throughout So Cal is just insane. Much like the traffic and roads in the Chicago area. I remember me drive up to St. Charles, IL and the traffic was heavy, but we moved. Then I saw a large shopping center with a big box store and lots of other stores. About 10 miles down the road, another large shopping center with a box box store and they just appeared every 8 to 10 miles. That was different for me. You know there is a large population around to support all those stores.

I prefer my area, I can often drive 3 miles south and not see one single moving car, heavy traffic is 4 or 5 cars. Of course if I go north three miles, it is right into a really large commercial area with two very large shopping centers just across the street from each other, the hospital, the box box store, and heavy traffic. Across the street north from the two big centers is yet another large center, and about 5 restaurants that specialize in chicken meals, and a couple dozen other restaurants.
