I did for 4 years, got everywhere too, and worked for a living.

Yeah, but you probably didn't have to grocery shop for a family of six, or take kids to Cub Scouts, church, etc. A contractor can't haul his supplies on the bus, either.

A person can manage without a personal vehicle in LA, but I don't recommend it. In those few times when I was without a vehicle in Los Angeles, I got physically ill over it. It was that big of a threat to my survival.

Oh yes you are correct, It was just me, with a grocery store at the end of my block (and I shopped every other day) with a half a block walk to my Apt.

As a single it was great, I no longer went to flea markets and swap meets to buy stuff I didn't need, took dates in rides in Town-cars that avoided the DUI thing, and got a lot of reading done. But with a family it would suck.
