I'd say Chicago hits three of their points, but fails 1. miserably.

Atlanta is second to maybe only LA in terms of how bad the traffic gets. Neighborhood streets backed up with highway traffic bad. Definitely not the place to look if cars stress you out like they do for me. On the bright side living there disillusioned me about American cities and now I live happily car free in Tokyo :)

Not a worry if you wfh and get most stuff delivered.

Why even bother changing countries then?!?!

I presume for non-commute social activities? Weekends and evenings usually don't see congested traffic due to lower commuter traffic.

You've never been to Atlanta!

Houston is much easier to navigate with a car, but you can find a few transit-centric areas (mostly downtown and in the areas around Rice). You would be SOL if you wanted to get to a different part of town without a car though.
