Local politics was i had a little bit of a chip on my shoulder about my hometown.

We have seen a lot of high profile events that will clog things up. Reporter events bring people into the city from outside and those folks have cars and the cars cause traffic and the backup on the bay bridge doesnt look much different than a monday morning. This weekend seems to be especially driving people crazy. We have been bad. Last night i was driving here for uber and this road took me 45 minutes. One block. The weekends were not always this way.
