then there is you love of the rolling petri dishes called buses. are you certain you're in los angeles? anyone who's actually spent any time there rolled their eyes when they heard you say "the buses are excellent".

I'm glad to hear that you left. You've done your part to make L.A. a better place. Have you ever actually ridden a bus in Los Angeles? Was it in the last 30 years? I have, (on occasion), and found them to be as clean or cleaner than buses in other major U.S. cities or in Europe. Seriously. And the subway cars are probably the nicest and cleanest in the country. probably because they're the newest by about 100 years.
On the rare times that I'm without a car and need to get somewhere, I do not think twice about walking up the street and jumping on a bus. Los Angeles is of course a very huge and spread-out place, so it's not like you can get anywhere in town quickly on mass transit. But that's also true of car travel, depending on the destination and distance. For the places I usually go, the mass transit works great here. But then I choose to live in the city proper for its access to the areas where I usually hang-out and work. I'm never on the 405 unless it's actually the best way to get where I'm going at some particular time.
