I agree with you on the traffic part. Some parts of Stockholm are a complete mess. If you remember visiting Gamla Stan you might remember the Slussen area, connecting the island to Södermalm. That is the worst part of Stockholm when it comes to traffic. This area
But that area is completely changing now and the construction of the new Slussen has started From 1:20, you can see the changes
Not a big fan of the Foster's master plan for the area, but then this will never be completed, not in my lifetime anyway...been decades of debates and they're still ongoing...
Barstow, California. There is absolutely nothing there. If you wanted to disappear from the world, you could easily do it here.
We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold. I remember saying something like “I feel a bit lightheaded; maybe you should drive...” And suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us and the sky was full of what looked like huge bats, all swooping and screeching and diving around the car, which was going about a hundred miles an hour with the top down to Las Vegas. And a voice was screaming: “Holy Jesus! What are these goddamn animals?”

Did the highway patrol man who wanted a blow job stop them also around Barstow?
Barstow is actually a major railroad hub, not just for California, actually a substantial piece in the whole network of the western US. Probably employs 2000 people directly including contractors, though i'm sure the nearby military installations easily outnumber that. Not glamorous by any means, but a crucial spot on the road nonetheless.

It's needed as a major rail hub for Ft. Irwin, and all the military equipment that is shipped there from all across the U.S. for the military exercises taking place year round in the Mojave
Military units train there precisely because they have unlimited access to their own moonscape outside of Barstow.
