If Toronto is seven flavors of ass then I guess we are the Baskin-Robbins of traffic

No. 1: Atlanta, Ga.

Here, in the fastest-growing city in America, more people flood the roadways than the infrastructure can handle. Commuters spend 60 hours a year stuck in traffic, second only to those in Los Angeles. If that weren't bad enough, Atlanta is so spread out that only 29% of drivers get to and from work in less than 20 minutes, the third worst rate in the country, and 13% spend more than an hour getting to work, the fourth worst rate in the country. The local train system doesn't service the entire city, and thus fails to relieve the pressure.


Take away the traffic problems and Atlanta to me is still one of the Top 3 metro areas in the country to live in, work in and raise a family.
