    Unless you’re trying to get across San Francisco, New York, Austin, or LA in mid day traffic. Then it’s 45 min by foot, and 28 hours by car.

      IDK about NYC, man. I was there once and my initial impression was media lied about the traffic. There was no cars anywhere; but the sidewalks were crowded as fuck. 🤣

      And every time I thought “screw all these people, I’m taking a cab” I’d tell them where I wanted to go and they were like “I’m not gonna take your money to go 2 blocks.”

        I guess it depends on the part of Manhattan. I’ve absolutely been stuck in traffic that takes eons to move 3 blocks.

      I drove a lady home from a party in NYC at like midnight, and I said “Oh, it’s only five miles that won’t be bad”

      It took an hour to get there and back. I wasn’t really mad because she was cute and maybe into me but we could have walked that distance in the same amount of time.
