My hometown (Pittsburgh) is 5th best whereas, my home for the last 26+ years (Metro Detroit) is 19th most congested.
While I have less time to decompress in my E60, I thank my lucky stars that I only have a 5.5 mile commute over local roads that takes me <10 minutes to work on most days and not >15 minutes on the drive home at the peak of rush hour.
