I mean…it’s got some goods restaurants, I’m sure a decent quality of life. People who live there sure seem to like it, but that’s nothing new. Oh, but that traffic sucks because infrastructure was apparently designed by a toddler.

Traffic in Lafayette isn't bad if you live in the city and are traveling within the city. I drove 5 miles across the city in rush hour traffic the other day and it took me less than 15 minutes. That isn't that bad

Now, if you're driving from Youngsville to Lafayette every day, then yeah that sucks, but the same can be said in driving from Metairie to New Orleans, or the outskirts of Baton Rouge to Baton Rouge every day.

I challenge you to find any place that has a “best place to live” title that doesn’t have traffic.

The Woodlands is an awesome place to live and won best in the US at one point. Traffic can be rough at times. That’s normal. People live in places that are good

Ehhhh... I feel like most people say this because of the thruway which absolutely sucks. The rest of the traffic is fine until you get outside of Lafayette and into the surrounding areas that are still working on the infrastructure to go with the population booms. Even then though traffic is good outside of rush hour and the occasional detours when a bridge is being worked on or a new roundabout is being installed.
