traffic

I live in Antioch & the traffic is horrible. It takes my husband 45 min to an hour to get to work in the morning & to get home at night after work. During non-traffic times 11 am-2 pm it only takes 15 minutes to get to his place of work. There is a lot of new construction in Antioch & the towns further out which are causing the roads to be tied up forever. They say that when the freeway is finished being widened the traffic will be better, but by that time it will need to be widened again.
If you don't need to go out of town however, Antioch is a great place to live . There is almost any store you can think of to go shopping at with many malls & lots of restaurants & new ones being built all the time. There are lots of community events, theaters, museums, open spaces, state parks, city parks and the marina to keep you occupied. They have been restoring downtown Antioch the past few years & it is starting to look great. My kids & I like to go downtown & sit on a bench by the delta & watch the sailboats & the trains go by. If you like to go hiking, mountain biking, running or just walking there are plenty of places to do it here.
All in all it's a good place to live if you don't mind traffic.
