Yeah SoCal traffic is near normal levels again. I attribute it to overpopulation and a significant portion of residents who don't work traditional 9-5 type of hours. Even during Covid PCH, Sunset, etc. still had plenty of people when the beaches were open.

I've visited the Seattle area several times during the pandemic and most residents in the suburbs work professional jobs in firms like Microsoft, Amazon, T-mobile, Google, etc. which have had employees at home for months. So rush hour traffic isn't that bad and outside those hours it's totally clear.
