BTK hit it, in my opinion. There is some underlying reason for your friend saying this, and he just doesn't want to tell you what it is. I would ask myself how long has he lived here (like a poster above who moved here when it was still mostly farmland), and where he came from. Moreover, where is he going? I challenge him to find anywhere warm in the winter where the traffic is any less.
I grew up driving the hills of Pittsburgh when it didn't have enough highways to handle all the cars (still doesn't), and have spent winters in Key West and Anna Maria Island over on the Gulf coast. Compared to those places, the traffic we have here is just nothing to us.
