figgieland is not a state of mind, its urban norcal and seattle and nyc and austin and such

Austin is a lot less figgieland than those others. Lots of places haven't kept up with rates as more big tech moves in.

is that a regional thing? we do the same in Vancouver (eg. the 91, the 99, the 17, though notable exceptions are "the number X" or just "highway X" for numbers under 10) and I've always just found it natural sounding

It's a notable difference between Southern and Northern California dialects, to the point where all my college friends, who came down from the Bay, tried to shame me out of the habit lol

Yeah, it's because the first freeways in socal were not numbered, but instead named, e.g., "the san diego freeway" and "the santa monica freeway". When they started numbering them, people who were used to calling it "the santa monica freeway" switched to just saying "the 10" instead, keeping the "the" in front. The rest of the country would typically say something like I-10 instead, so it is somewhat unusual. That said, I grew up in the central coast and we all called it the 101, so the dialect makes it that far north, at least.
