I hate traffic as much as anyone, but you're being a Drama Queen if you think BR traffic is measurably worse than any other U.S. city its size.

Even during the times you mentioned, I can drive from one side of the city to the other in 40 minutes

You can't bullshite a bullshitter. I used to live in Southdowns, and there is no way I could make it from Seigen to Acadian on Perkins in under an hour. Try to go from Acadian to P'ville? You're looking at an hour and a half. Perkins to the Interstate on college is almost a 30 minute ordeal. Been on Essen lately? I have been in a lot of cities around the US, and the only one that is close is Atlanta. Your statement is 100% untrue

It used to take me 1 hour just to get from the CBD in New Orleans to the Dolly Parton bridge during rush hour

You've got to be shitting me

I drive 100+ on the interstate and going that fast can make it to the city limits of Mobile in 1.5hrs. Get your head out of your arse and quit making up bullshite. There are enough people here that can call you out and make you look like a retard, so don't even try to act like you have a car

You cant get from Perkins to I-10 in 40 minutes during rush hour.

I used to work off Highland and Perkins and would go pick my wife up from time to time near Pennington. I never made it there in less than 35 mins.

I'll take Houston any day traffic wise.

Memphis was a million times better. Orlando was better, Dallas was better, Calgary was better, Nashville was better.

Since moving to Houston, my worst traffic issues have been getting out of br when I come home from trips

LSU between 4-6 is a complete nightmare. The only street in br worth a damn is Burbank. Brightside is a a mess and the interstates...

I work in downtown BR and commute from kenner. It asked me an hour and a half at most door to door, and I get off at 5. You people are full of shite or have no concept of alternate routes.
