    Its traffic is notoriously bad, so you don’t have to live far away to deal with a long commute.

      23 miles door to door for me. Can take as little as a half hour (zero traffic)… Or as much as an hour 20. And good luck predicting exactly how bad it will be at any given day/time!

      • that was my experience when I lived in Minneapolis. when there was zero traffic and in the summer, you could get from any place in town to any other place in between 15-20 minutes. snarled traffic was rare because there were so many additional terrestrial roads to take the burnt.

        Contrast that with living in Philly, and we have a highway (676) that is so jammed all the time that the exits are measured on signage in fractions.
