      high functioning

      I mean… have you ever been on I-93? Or even been cut off by someone who appears to have murder–suicide in mind, like anywhere in the northeast (it’s always Mass plates)?

        Hard disagree.

        I’d take being on the road with massholes any day over fighting SF Bay Area traffic.

        Yes, massholes are frustratingly aggressive to the uninitiated. But we’re predictably aggressive. Like, if you leave space, someone’s gonna fit their car there.

        Contrast that to the much more chaotic and oblivious shit you see on the regular in the SFBA - people tend to do distracted driving shit a TON more there, and are generally more oblivious to their surroundings, which often causes more traffic and more collisions.
