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?

Live in an area with a high walk score.

http://www.walkscore.com/CA

That site doesn't tell the whole picture. There are neighborhoods where the walk score is 98 or 99.

Work in the same area you live in.

A friend of mine lived in Santa Monica, biked to his job (where he was making $200,000+), and never needed to drive.

You can walk to good restaurants, bars, shopping, movies...whatever.

Cab it on the weekend if you want to go farther. Do that, anyway, to avoid a DUI.

Take a shuttle to LAX when you need to fly somewhere.

Going carless is SoCal is very easy.

Mike, is NOT having a car in SoCal seen as a social taboo? What if you swoop a lizard and you tell her you don't have a car? Will she hold that against you? What if you need to be hitting up lizards from different neighbourhoods (a harem)? Is there public transport or is it just a cab thing from A to Z etc?
