I mostly agree, but I have to vehemently disagree about needing to own a car. I compare my journey in L.A. to that of my friends who arrived at the same time (2010) and boy, are we glad we don't have the added expense and hassle of a car. I'm never late places, but people are always arriving late with the excuse that traffic was terrible. We bike and use public transit (and occasionally rent a car), and boy-howdy is it cheaper and easier, even with car rentals... much cheaper than the continued cost of car ownership. BOY HOWDY!

But I didn't come here to fight about L.A.'s car culture. I came here because I'm searching the blockchain for mentions of Los Angeles to invite people to come tonight to a Steemit event I'm hosting in Hollywood. Free, and I'm giving away some of @papa-pepper's money. Hope you can come; if not, tell your friends! https://steemit.com/contest/@improv/los-angeles-if-you-live-in-or-near-los-angeles-you-need-to-read-this
