Depends on the area, but IIRC the VHF/UHF HAM bands in some cities are almost as bad as CB radio at times.

I believe LA still has that problem, but largely confined to a single repeater.

Yes, W6NUT is still going. It's pure anarchy by HAM standards but it's actually kind of entertaining. https://www.broadcastify.com/listen/feed/25419
