SD to Ventura is 3 hours with zero traffic. And having lived in both LA and SF, I can say that SF traffic is worse. That doesn't mean LA traffic is fun but it certainly shouldn't be a surprise and there are plenty of other urban areas that are as bad depending on the details. If you know what you're doing you can generally get around LA without much problem. If you don't know what you're doing, you're screwed.

This year I have driven 3x San Marcos to Goleta slightly under 3 hours. Timing is everything - depart SM in the 10 AM window. Straight up the 5 to the 101. Splitting hairs yes but as you said folks who know their surroundings can make a go of it.
