The Democrats are really underestimating the public's appetite for infrastructure spending. In the Bay Area it isn't uncommon at all to hear about 4 hour commutes - one way. If there is an accident on the freeway - you can absolutely expect a three or for hour commute. And this happens pretty much all the time now.

And the fun thing is that at least in Fremont Ca, the cops take these opportunities to pull people over for cell phone use as they are desperately trying to find alternative routes on Waze or Maps. Making the traffic even worse instead of finding ways to get people out of their city. No fucks given.
