Don’t know how people do it. Thats one reason I’ve stayed at my current job and house. 6.5 miles and can easily do it by bike or scooter. We’ll probably move when we retire.
This is one of the I-15 on ramps

3 hours for 70 miles, crazy. I thought Houston was bad where it's maybe 2 hours for 70 miles from one extreme to the other. I get enough in my suburb where sometimes I have to wait for the second green light cycle to get my turn.
No wonder, every time I go to Orange County CA I get screwed over, its ridiculous, and google maps is almost always dead on with ETAs until you enter California, then google map ETAs become useless, additional 3 hours in traffic is common every time I drive through i-15...
No-the NIMBYS did that.
I was in outside sales in Southern California. I have logged well over 1 million miles on those freeways. So yes-I'm quite familiar. Probably even worse now than when I retired 13 years ago.
If you asked a Southern California how far something is...they well almost always ask what time of day-and then give you driving time, not miles.
Gotdamm
I have no schedule. Any work I take on I tell them I scheduled office hours is a deal breaker, give me keys and I'll come and go. I'm a phantom who sends an invoice
That traffic would make me want to hurt someone. Yuck!
Mannn, The thought of entering that every day to sustain life. I thought my commutes in MA were horrific. No more commute. It is the best thing about retirement.
That's the way to/from Silverwood Lake I think? I remember that road being jammed with boats and campers last time I was out that way. I'm aware they have since rebuilt it to get rid of all the crazy twists and turns but it looks like traffic has skyrocketed anyway.
Perspective. I was visiting someone in Indianapolis and arrived there around 5PM on a Friday. The person I was visiting warned me that traffic would be heavy due the combination of rush-hour and Friday afternoon traffic. I think I slowed to maybe 40mph once, never came to any sort of stop. Contrast that to traffic around Chicago where off-hours where you have to deal with stop-and-go traffic more often than not, and during rush-hour I've sat at a dead stop for minutes at a time before creeping forward 10' and sitting some more.
That's called Extreme driving conditions! I live in SoCal, and stay off the highways during commuting time.
Extreme driving conditions like that everyday constitute cutting your oil change intervals in half.
Carbon buildup, fuel dilution in the oil, etc.
Just my two cents

Need to do it the Aussie way with a little autogyro.
Not a chopper; the, rotor is unpowered - think of it as a "rotating airfoil"
Gotta George Jetson it up, dude!
Don't forget blood boiling issues.
I had an hour commuter home expanded to two hours since drivers couldn't seem to figure out how to stay away from the merge on a 2 lane bridge without jamming things up. Stayed at work an exta hour, built some massive big boss cred, and then sailed home.
Uncle Don will fix it all
I am about to get out of the work place world at the right time... I am beyond thankful for the God given career I have had but after 40+ years the perfect time to go has all but arrived.
