Nope. You still need a car when you live in Santa Monica. Anyone who says otherwise is being disingenuous. How are you going to get out to West Hollywood, Bev Hills, Downtown LA, etc?
First, if you drive anywhere, you're risking a DUI. If you say, "get a designated driver," then you're just check-mating yourself (again). Designated driver = someone else has a car.
Second, there's no reason to drive outside of Santa Monica.
WeHo is full of gays.
Downtown is full of dirty hipsters or "velvet rope" bars.
Beverly Hills? Bro, have you even partied in LA? Beverly Hills is a zip code. Other than an underground bar or two, there's no scene.
Maybe you meant Brentwood? Even so, not much going on there.
Between Main Street (everything from dance clubs to pubs) and the bars starting on 25th Street (Wilshire, Gas Lite, Q's, Cabo Cantina), or Busby's on the other side of town, there's no reason a guy needs to leave Santa Monica.
Why is Santa Monica expensive? Because it's the best place in LA to live.
Thus, there's really no reason to leave.
You're right about Santa Monica. I can't disagree with you there. I absolutely hate Los Angeles except for a few neighborhoods. Santa Monica is great.
You made your point but it's different than what G was saying.
