Need Advice From Those In West Hollywood

I live in Culver City, I work in West Hollywood. It takes me about 30 minutes to get to work on the bus. If I'm taking a cab, it costs me 20 bucks...I live 4 miles away from work.
If you're living near Santa Monica Blvd, there's really no need for a car at all. Your central to everything, you can just walk....but then again, I like walking, so it's no big thang. I actually have a car too, I just dont like driving it because the traffic is so obnoxious...and I'm always drunk, lol.
West Hollywood is definetly a gay mecca, but I find it kind of boring, but it's not really my scene. I would suggest checking out Silverlake, I don't know if it's cheaper or not, but it's certainly interesting over there!
Oh and rent in weho...you'll be paying around 1000/month for a studio/1 bedroom...cheaper if you move further away.

If you look at living in North Hollywood, then you'll need a car, but it is cheaper.

Yes. A Taxi cab. Taxis are very hard to come by in LA because the city is so huge that crossing it would cost about $75. And I don't think they take dogs.

I don't expect you to understand. You've demonstrated your cognitive capabilities on JUB many times. You'll just have to accept that LA is a huge city and if you want to live here, you'll need a car.

Maybe in Barcelona you strap your goats and whores on the back of your little scooter. You can get away with a lot more in third world nations.

Jasun, I have known about the hell LA is for transportation ever since there still was no subway: from all my posts it can be seen I'm not really proud of little Europe, but it's true sometimes the physical size proves to be convenient, as in the case in question; I only wanted you to develop and make me realize in detail how different should I be to have a life in LA I can't imagine doing what :mrgreen:

If you are so interested in our Public Transportation here you go

www.metro.net
 
I don't think the question is really so much related to size as with your lifestyle: Barcelona is rather small, the public transportation is relatively well-developed but many people couldn't live without a car: they need it to carry things, to get faster from smaller towns in the metro area, to take their girlfriends to a romantic weekend, or simply because it seems to bring more independce, even if you actually depend on the fluidity of traffic, on the condtion of the machine and the ability of parking espaces, even if it all supposes a big expense.

So you're all on the Silk Road, then. It's a small city with good public transportation, but you're all too good for buses and instead must have your cars so you don't have to look at other people or smell other people's mules.

got it.

There seems to be many people who don't go from street to street or neghborhood to neighborhood, but from town to town inside the metro area, just like happens in LA although it has only one third of its population and extension.
 
Jasun said:
No, you actually just wanted to say "Silk Road" a few times to make sure everyone knows that you think that people who don't want to sit on the bus for 5 hours to get across town are divas.

Since I assume you get around town riding the back of a mule, I also would guess the concept of a city that has so many people that we actually have different last names is foreign to you.

hmmm, I said I prefer big cities... but well-developed cities, not just aggregates of human masses like LA.

Yes, the subways are useful. They need to continue to add more and more mass transit systems and more have been planned. But people still generally need cars. Mass transit is/will primarily be used only when it makes sense to use it.

I know that people are just desperate to say you don't really need a car in Los Angeles and we're all stuck up, pampered and "silk road" people.

Not me. I just wanted a better picture of a situation I hope I will never have to experience myself. Like I have already said, I knew about the idea that "you can't live in LA without a car"... I only wanted to know about the extremities of it, and you explained it very well; thank you.
However, I'm just begining to sense you didn't really get my reference to the Silk Road: I see you as precisely the contrary of pampered people, since you need to travel inside a (supposedly) city as if you were http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caravan_(travellers)

The truth is that Los Angeles isn't really a city.. it's a bunch of suburbs and smaller cities that grew up and into each other in a rather haphazard way. There are 13 million people in LA county. It's huge. If you just want to cloister into a neighborhood, I guess you could do it, but what's the point? If you want to truly get all you want out of living in a city with as much to offer as LA, you have to have a car.

Here's something to think about... LA County is over 4000 square miles. The entire state of Rhode Island is about 1500 square miles. LA County is more than twice the size of that state. Can you imagine telling people in Rhode Island they don't need a car and should just walk about the place or take the bus?

What I said, what everybody knows: LA is a massive aggregate of human population in a bg urban continuum, and not a well-articulated city.
 
Jasun said:
That was supposed to mean that with a personality like your's, you probably go through a lot of friends who don't charge by the hour, so a big city with lots of people who haven't even heard of you would be a good place to live.

Geez, next time I'll just convey my jokes in interpretive dance or something.

I can't believe you know me so little, even if you care as little as I do about getting to know other people, to think that I care about my "reputation": I've always left that to others who, cod knows why, seem more interested in it than myself.
 
I lived in L.A for a while, It wasn't for me so I came back to the big apple. Everyone keeps asking about public transportation, trust me when I say you really don't wanna go that route. Not only does it not really get you anywhere, there are so many weirdo's and psycho's who utilize it, I wouldn't recommend it.

And what happens if you want to leave your own neighbourhood? Like... go to the beach? Or down town? Or to a place like Arena? Or Silverlake?

What happens when you want to go shopping in Beverly Hills?

If it takes you 30 minutes to travel 4 miles on a bus, imagine trying to get to the beach.

well, if i want to go to silverlake, i take 2 buses from my house, not one. it takes just as much time as it does when i drive, because traffic is usually insane. i work at a bar in weho, and from there to the eagle it takes 20 minutes on the bus.
i mean, i also have the luxury of being fairly centrally located to every spot you listed. one bus that stops a few blocks from me takes me straight into santa monica. another one in the opposite direction, downtown. and i live within walking distance to bev hills (but i shop at thrift stores because im poor, so why go to bev hills?)
 
Jasun said:
Sorry, but no. City busses stop every street and go very slow. NOBODY stays even with a bus when driving. If you're going to try to tell me that driving takes the same amount of time as taking a freaking LA city bus, I'm going to have to tell you you're full of crap and leave it at that.

It only take as long as the bus if you are behind it
