23 miles door to door for me. Can take as little as a half hour (zero traffic)… Or as much as an hour 20. And good luck predicting exactly how bad it will be at any given day/time!
that was my experience when I lived in Minneapolis. when there was zero traffic and in the summer, you could get from any place in town to any other place in between 15-20 minutes. snarled traffic was rare because there were so many additional terrestrial roads to take the burnt.
Contrast that with living in Philly, and we have a highway (676) that is so jammed all the time that the exits are measured on signage in fractions.
We have a lot of sprawl here and the reasons are many. Just like Dallas and LA, we have a ton of road infrastructure and zoning laws that eat up a lot of land. We also don’t have any natural barriers, like an ocean or a mountain range, to limit our expansion. Just to keep building and add another lane. Thanks for asking.
Yeah, the metro area (albeit unofficially) effectively takes up most of the eastern and northeastern sections of the state. It is a truly huge suburban sprawl.
Is housing that expensive in Atlanta?
Its traffic is notoriously bad, so you don’t have to live far away to deal with a long commute.

That’s disgusting, and I now feel bad for Atlanta.
Oh don’t feel bad for us. It’s also hotter than hell with 115% humidity every day for 7-9 months!
also they’re surrounded by fuckin repedoclicans

the funny thing is, every city is always just one more lane away from solving their traffic problems.
