i use to have a 45-50 minute commute, with about an extra 10-15 minutes a day from congestion.
since COVID i have zero traffic congestion during my 30 minute commute. i get on the freeway in 5-6 minutes from my home, and set the cruise for 75mph and get off 20 minutes later at the exit near work. reverse back home. the silver lining to all this chaos. unfortunately in the car biz when people are not driving they don’t need you.
in the Seattle area all the techies and academics are not going to work; Amazon and Microsoft (and the majority of other tech) are still closed working from home. they mostly all live east of Seattle and commute to the west. so east<->west freeways are empty. blue collar are back to work, they commute north and south, and those freeways are worse than ever now.
the new normal.
When I’m alone I listen to myself yell and cuss.
When I am driving my wife I listen to her yell and cuss.
We live in the Los Angeles area.
