Everyone I've talked to today at work has remarked on the total lack of traffic this morning. I'm not sure that the "Day Without Immigrants" folks wanted to send that message to Los Angeles. Traffic being as brutal as it is in LA, the idea that we could "send them all home" and go back to free-flowing freeways is pretty enticing. Maybe gas prices would go down, too.
I'm only half joking.
UPDATE: At 6pm, the southbound 405 on the Westside was flowing at 65-70MPH. This never happens. My normal 35 minute slog turned into a 12 minute romp, with most of the time spent getting on and off. I could get used to this.
