Had ot go to Albertsons today about 11 am but I took the back roads from Palo Verde North instead of the hwy. and it wasnt too bad. Coming home I got stuck behind some yawho so I got on the hwy (95 N), holy crap , traffic was bumper to bumper from one signal to the next, even the left turn lanes were way over capacity.
This town has got to figure it out and soon ☹️ ☹️ ☹️

Hows your town doing ??????

The work around used to be London Bridge Road.. but they just took out the 2nd lane in each direction (wasn’t a long section) and made a center median and a FUCKING BIKE LANE for those skinny tire assholes… 🙄

Get stuck behind a snowbird doing 30 in a 35 and it’s fucking brutal.

Its the Black Friday people. Stockton Hill rd was gridlocked and I read the back home newspaper the police were telling people late in the day not to go to the Outlet Mall because the traffic jam was 3 hours and by the time you got through it the mall would be closed.
Gift certificates for me.

Traffic was terrible today . Saw about 10 cars after the cement plant ....
It was a great day all the way through dinner. Next year will be a blast when @Jefftowz has his own car to trash. Then you and I come in 1st and 2nd swimming across the channel to flip the switch to light the village. I will even let you come in first. 👍 Now I just gotta get me my speedo…..

Carlsbad locals are fuming about a few long stretches of two lane roads that were just changed to single lane. The road rage in people eyes now is disturbingly visible. It really makes no logical sense. 🙄

Back in the 1980’s, we blamed everything on the snowbirds. 😜

Fatal on 95 north of Parker. Reports say, driver of SB station wagon had a medical event, crossed over into oncoming traffic, causing a head on with NB vehicle. Fatal for driver of NB vehicle, passenger was airlifted in critical condition. Driver of SB station wagon was hospitalized. Sad deal.

I don't know the first thing about Havasu and won't pretend I do but you guys better figure it out sooner than later. I see the same thing happening with Havasu (from what I can see on the board) that happened to Tahoe. In certain seasons, Tahoe is essentially ruined. Traffic is stupid, the amount of people is stupid, employees can't afford to live there because rising property values so stores are understaffed...it's just a nightmare at times.

There’s plenty of shithole places to live in Havasu between trailer parks and run down houses, along with scummy ass apartment buildings. Plenty of housing for poor people.

South Shore has been a mess since the 80's, now the North Shore is a shit show. Just too many peeps on big weekends, Havasu is nowhere near as bad yet. Havasu could use a bypass on the east side with minimal intersections in the future. Havasu has the room to solve the traffic issues, Tahoe not so much.

The guy that designed Disneyland designed the street layout in Havasu. That's where the problems started.

Stop printing money and giving government hand outs and these problems will solve themselves in a generation. People will stop living where they can't afford to.

There are plenty of them in Tahoe too...they're just pricey shitholes now.

Not so much

Really? Walk outside, within two blocks of your house there are low income apartments, duplex’s and run down houses. In fact the number of low income stuff within a two block circle of where you live probably out numbers nice houses 10 to 1. 🤷🏼‍♂️

We just got back from camping at Pirates for 10 days. During the week I had to run to the Walmart in Havasu to get a few things. On the way back I got stuck behind a rzr doing 45 the whole way up the 95. It finally turned off about a 1/4 mile before the Pilot. There had to have been 30 cars backed up behind them and they were clueless.

I don't know what part of town RD lives in, but there are some amazing homes around me. Jamaica has some older apartments but it's a busy street, kinda what happens on busy streets in most towns.

There’s a lot of nice houses in Havasu. There are a lot of junky ones too. The one thing I don’t like about Havasu is you have a nice house and next door is some shit hole with cars parked in the front yard. Unless you’re at the Riviera, Refuge or FootHills.


Your picture made my point. There’s a house for 1.5 million and half a block away there’s one for 400k, 500k and something for 178k.

178 might be dirt?
