I can't say for all of them. But having lived in Sacramento, I can tell you the transit there is terrible. Like I said, the key is in how things are zoned. For the most part, those places are zoned in the same kind of way Phoenix is, with residental far away from retail and businesses and no centralized employment area. If that's the kind of development you have, you're right, density won't help much.

But also like I said, all the places I mentioned are roughly equal to Phoenix in their lack of decent mass transit.
I guess "roughly" is the key word here....

Like I've said before, by far, most people don't want to live an urban lifestyle. Some people enjoy it, most don't. So you can't force everyone to live a certain way just because a few do like it and think everyone else should like it to.

I moved here from the LA area too and I'm the 1st to admit Traffic is much worse there!!!!!!

In fact 1 of the reasons I moved to Phx. was to get away from the Traffic nightmares that seem to be an all-day, all-night thing in many parts of LA metro.

But I found Phx. Traffic tie-ups to be almost as bad at Rush hour times - it's just not 24-7 like LA or some other Cities.
