You know, I recently had a chat with my brother about San Diego freeways. He lives in Davis and sometimes work takes him down to San Diego, and he raves about how fun it is to drive on those freeways and even just around town. The roads are really wide, the scenery is breathtaking, and (to a Masshole) the road conditions make for a super smooth drive.
Driving around Boston - if you don't have to actually be anywhere - is a different type of fun: it's
active driving. Narrow windy roads, lots of one-ways, no grid to follow, hyper-aggressive drivers and pedestrians. Keeps you on your toes, almost like you're tooling around in GTA.
But as anyone from the North can tell you, frost heaves make our roads third-world by the end of March. Pot holes get their own zip codes.
In San Diego and in the rest of the warmer parts of the country, you get to glide across smooooth concrete.
