I spent a lot of time overseas in Japan, South Korea and Mexico. All these countries have superb mass transit that is efficient cheap and fast. California except for bay area is horrible for most people because it is very slow, just as expensive and not convenient. I live near the beach so fortunately I can walk most places where I go so I dont drive that much. However, when I worked in UTC and Sorrento/Carmel Valley/Del Mar, I did need a car to get to work in the morning and home without spending 5-6 hours a day on the “loser cruiser”.
