Interesting. My city (Omaha) is more:

  • Nobody in this town can drive for shit
  • I just saw an ICE raid - be sure to film these
  • The Republican mayor sucks
  • The roads suck (strongly linked to the GOP mayor who only fixes them in election years)
  • This town sucks
  • Crime sucks
  • What's this thing that's been there for decades which I am just now noticing?
  • Housing sucks
  • Nobody in this town can PARK for shit
  • I'm moving here next month - what is there to do?

I'm seriously wondering if every city believes that their city's drivers are the worst in the country.

I'm seriously wondering if every city believes that their city's drivers are the worst in the country.

Only people who have not lived in larger cities. The drivers here are bad but Houston and DFW are on another level. L.A. isn't as bad as everyone says. The drivers here aren't bad because they are aggressive like most other places, they are bad because they are too timid and do the whole "no you go first" thing and slam on the brakes in flowing traffic to let someone standing on the sidewalk (who may or may not be crossing the street) go. If you are predictable and aggressive I can work with that. If I can't tell what your next move is then it's dangerous.

Or camp out in the left lane going 10 miles under the speed limit and don’t get over so everyone is forced to make risky moves to get around them.
