Answer 1

As you know the public transit system here sucks royally, leaving no other option than to drive, that coupled with the fact everything is so spread out makes it one crazy clustered mess!

I feel your pain! But hey, it's 85 degrees in November! That's a pretty fair trade : )

Answer 2

Its because everybody drives, instead of con mute.

Answer 3

I agree with the rest, too many people. What needs to be done is some serious work, I went to Japan last year they have an amazing population in Tokyo and they don't have this much traffic. This is due to their double decker free ways. Any major project like this would take an enormous amount of time and money.

Answer 4

Because there are a lot of people in a limited amount of space.

Answer 5

It's 'cause the population is really big...
