Man, if you thought it was bad in the Seattle area (where I’ve lived for quite a while now), you don’t want to see the shitshows in places like New York or DC.
Driving in the metro DC area is worse than driving in Seattle proper. When I lived in Northern Virginia, if it was a weeknight, I just accepted that there was nothing I could do other than go home because the public transit was almost non-existent, there was nothing to walk to (and poor pedestrian infrastructure), and driving anywhere would take forever because of the traffic. And you would be frustrated the entire time because people there drive like entitled idiots. You don’t just turn on your hazards and stop in the middle of the road/highway! I don’t know why that one in particular is such a big thing in NoVa, but it is, and it drove me insane. That and people turning on their hazards and then parking in a fire lane. Just, wtf.
