When I arrived in Austin in the 1970s, traffic was already bad, but manageable. There was a respite during the early 1980s recession, but other than that, it has just gotten worse and worse. Even Jimmy Kimmel (who is doing his show from Austin this week) commented to a reporter that getting around is difficult here. It's especially bad during festivals, but even in absence of something big happening, traffic is really intense.
