Why would you want to be carless in SoCal? The option would cost more unless you stay in all the time. Not having wheels is a pain in the ass. Run out of smokes then what? Call a cab?
LA's public transportation options have really expanded over the years. If you live in the Hollywood area and want to get downtown, for instance, it's a lot easier taking the subway now than driving to downtown and looking/paying for parking.
If you want to get from Santa Monica to Downtown there are a bunch of bus options (rapid busses). Over the past few years the city's public transportation options have changed a lot, and they're only getting better and more abundant.
San Diego is also doing pretty well with public transportation. The only place that won't be doing well anytime soon is Orange County, although there are good rail options to get to LA/SD from OC if you live near a train station.
All in all, the options are getting better in So Cal when it comes to public transportation.
Also, worth pointing out that G is still updating his website. I'm betting he's in a mini-relationship getting his "stress" relieved in a marathon session.
