If you want really bad traffic, nobody beats Atlanta. They have the worst
traffic in the nation, period. Worse even than LA. I had the opportunity to
work in both of those cities at considerably more pay - no way. I live in
the KC area by choice, I could make much more anywhere else. I'm here for
the lifestyle and people, but the city planners need major brain overhauls.
It must be a Missouri thing (Exhibit A: Branson, MO).

Subject: chicago, not my kind of town

Chicago is up there for crappy traffic.  It can take almost three hours to 
drive to the edge of the north burbs from the edge of the south burbs.  
Downtown Chicago royally sucks, it is going to cost you an arm and a leg to
park anywhere and Chicago's public transportation leaves quite a bit to be
desired.  If circumstances permitted me to move back to KC I'd do it in a
heartbeat!  Feel fortunate, the KC area is really the Jewel of the Midwest
as well as the Silicon Prairie.
