Actually there is, CA 60 from Moreno Valley to Beaumont is only 2 lanes each way

True, but that's basically middle of Iowa type of population density.

You're right! This native IE'er used that about 1 time in his life, but you're still right!

Right, and pretty much every freeway in SoCal is choked during rush hour. Look at google maps during LA's Rush hour, every freeway, especially 10 and 405, but every one is a parking lot. You can deny all you want, but adding freeways to LA's standards in Denver won't help anything

Yeah, because expanding I-225 did nothing too.

gotta fix the metro. Granted DC's traffic was bad at times, but I can't imagine how much worse it would be if the metro was dysfunctional.
