Boston
Here here ... eom
The secret is to build margin in the schedule and google map the parking near the location. And, I never request appointments between 5 and 7 in the city

I haven't encountered yet since I've only been there twice but next month I'm staying a little longer and may even have a rental.
Is it really that bad? Everytime someone mentions Boston the traffic is the first thing they talk about lol
Before Google Maps and GPS, there were many reasons for city and highway traffic. Boston was not exactly a planned city ... except by the cows and sheep. Old downtown streets zig and zag and crisscross whereever the old cows (probably with Mad Cow Disease) wore down the paths. Back back was filled in in the mid to late 1800s and that area is PLANNED and somewhat sensible. On the streets, many intersections lacked street name signs! You knew you were on the Main Street but you had no idea what the side streets were if you didn't know that neighborhood. The highway system was another product of bad planning. The Fitzgerald Expressway was built in the 1950s and it was obsolete before it was even completed. The Expressway ("Central Artery") was finally torn down and replaced with the underground version starting in the 1980s (yeah, the original plans were to spend around $3 billion for "Depression of the Central Artery"). "The Big Dig" didn't get started until the 90s and will probably never be really finished although I think they declared it finished for a cost of around $22 billion. I'm sure the bills and scams and payoffs are still being paid. So history, high population density, lousy Public Transit and bad planning combine to make Boston one of the worst places for traffic: http://www.wbur.org/bostonomix/2016/04/25/boston-traffic-historIs it really that bad?
