Hmm, most of that passes the smell test to me, thanks.

The part that doesn't: I'm admittedly looking only at my Urban area, but traffic is much less than it was. I still commute to the office, and it just isn't what it used to be, even into the city. My commute takes about 10 minutes less than it used to, 15 minutes instead of 25.

Obviously not a huge city, but definitely one that is well known across the U.S.
