    "My commute is not good. There are entirely too many cars on the road and sorry to say the driving has gotten worse. People who think they will get somewhere fast around here obviously have not lived here long or they are in dreamland. What used to take 20 minutes to get somewhere about 11 years ago now takes 1 hour. That's how much the traffic has increased. Add in never-ending road congestion and the every day accidents that back up traffic for miles and miles and it just makes it that much worse. We should be a lot farther than we are with public transportation options. "
