This is why Santa Monica and Venice are much closer to the startup center of gravity than Los Angeles proper is. My parents have been visiting here (Santa Monica) for Christmas and it has been very easy to do everything without having a car. The neighborhoods along the coast are very walkable, and when you infrequently need to change locales there's always Über. I only have a motorcycle to commute a few miles to Century City, but on the weekends it stays parked and pedestrian transport reigns. Googlers are even luckier with their Venice office, it's smack dab in the middle of a thriving pedestrian neighborhood.

- jboggan 13y agoFascinating, thanks! We (Factual) recently moved offices but stayed in Century City because we like the locale so much. But our employees are distributed all around LA and it is a relatively central location for them. Most drive but several are switching to (dangerous) bicycling and taking the bus.
