That describes most big cities to me. When I took my little dog to the emergency clinic in Chattanooga last month, it was almost like driving in Atlanta ten years ago. I normally stay in one of the two slower lanes. I was getting passed like crazy and when I checked my speed, I was going 85. It’s nuts.

Knoxville is getting as bad. The last time I went through there headed to the big orthopedic hospital for a nerve conduction test, there was a lot of construction. Plus, I think the Vols were playing at home. Knoxville is a no-go zone when it’s football season.

The big TN cities are trying to expand to accommodate all of the blue state transplants but there is nowhere for them to go.

Yeah, I used to live near a big stadium. On "gamedays" I couldn't even get out of my own driveway.

You'd think football was interesting, or fun, or exciting....or something.

Yes, they are - bigly. I've had countless offers to buy my house by realtors, brokers, etc. They send texts, emails, calls, and regular mailings. Selling at today's prices would be nice - except that I'd have to pay today's prices to replace the house, and move.

Adding tons of houses, but not nearly enough road to handle the additional traffic. Typical government/developer "cooperation".
