    Orlando is barely even a drivable city lol I always hated having to go into the city. Of course most major cities are that way now that we’ve bisected them with highways.

      Dude, don’t get me started. I regularly drive the East Coast between Orlando and NYC, and all over the East Coast and south, and Orlando is easily the worst city to drive in, including NYC.

      The highways in Orlando are ALWAYS backed up, any time of the day, including the middle of the night, and half of them are tollways. And the main normal roads are no better. If you leave the Loop for Poinciana after 3 pm, you won’t be home until 7. It’s pretty much the same all over town, and they can’t build more apartments fast enough. Now there are plans currently underway to build a MORMON city just east of Orlando, with a population of 500,000. That’s the size of Orlando itself.

      The only place that rivals Orlando for Highway Horror. is the DC/Baltimore corridor at rush hour, but if you can time your drive to miss that, you’ll be good…until you reach Orlando.
