The new Expo rail also helps SM/Silicon Beach be much more of the hub. The SM deal included a bike path that connects to existing SM bike paths, taking you all the way to the beach. From there, you can very safely bike all the way to Manhattan Beach and beyond (the path runs along the beach without any cars). Your only point of exposure to cars is transitioning from Marina del Rey to Playa del Rey. All-in-all, the beach cities are awesome, but costs easily compete with the best of SF, especially if you like the newer, more modern stuff closer to the beach...
