Congrats. Your ability to live there is heavily subsidized by everyone who lives near other people in properly dense cities. Car-centric infrastructure was built to cater to your lifestyle inside those cities, to the detriment of those who live there. The traffic is (minutely, minusculely) your fault. Mostly the fault of those who advocate for you, but you still reap all the benefits.
Thanks for your apology! It wasn’t necessary, but is accepted. I sympathize, though don’t fully agree, with your position (and, at least for me, associated anxiety that might lead to hostility).
Hopefully, someday soon, an ideal world with minimally impactful individual transportation comes around.
I live in a remote area and WFH. For me, a traffic jam is when farm equipment enters the road, or occasionally when there is roadwork.
I’ve seen as many as five cars lined up waiting in those circumstances!

All righty then.
Yeah, sorry. Was being unnecessarily snarky.
