GEN 2 First long interstate road trip

Jax traffic has really changed over the last five years. It is horrible during rush hour. Fortunately, it hasn’t been bad since COVID. But given how many people are flocking to Florida, the real estate market in Jax will be on par with parts of south Florida within a couple of years.

And it sounds like the horrid traffic as well LOL

Traffic seems to be close to pre-COVID levels now. My office is in Southpoint and (to me) traffic is around 95% of where it was in Feb, although I try to call it a day at 3:00-3:30 out of habit unless I can't for some reason. I don't understand people who want to live at the beach if they have a 9-5...that's just nuts. Town Center is packed again, I try to avoid that at all costs.

I'm in commercial RE here and, outside of a slow summer, it's nuts right now. Lots going on, lots of northerners investing here.

That's the philosophy you got to have or else you will be stuck in traffic for an hour. It didn't use to be that way. You could leave work at 4:30 pm and still get across town, but that shipped has long sailed. All of JTB is a crapshoot during rush hour: Southside, Gate parkway (Town Center) and all the way out to the beach/A1A.
