the positives are many and already mentioned.

That made me curious so I did google it. A US News article using statistics from Allstate shows:
The 10 Cities With the Worst Drivers

Oakland, California
Alexandria, Virginia
Providence, Rhode Island
Springfield, Massachusetts
Los Angeles, California
Glendale, California
Worcester, Massachusetts
Boston, Massachusetts
Washington, D.C.
Baltimore, Maryland

If I start hearing people say "khakis" when they're looking to start the car, I'm outta here...

BOISE, Idaho (CBS 2) — Boise drivers apparently need to head back to driver's training.

Or at least slowdown and pay attention.

According to QuoteWizard.com, Boise drivers are the second-worst in the county out of 75 major cities.


The City of Trees was in a respectable (we think?) 27th position last year but made the unfortunate leap in 2019.
