I have to admit my last year of living in La, my office was only 2 miles from my home and I still drove there every morning in traffic. It took me an average of 20 minutes there and 20 minutes back. I even had a bike! Something about that city blinds people to the fact of any kind of walking/biking as a means of transportation and after 6 years there I think I took the bus once. I blame Missing Persons.

When I traveled out there and I remianed on east coast time, I often got up at dawn to go for a run.  while the streets were already filling with cars you never saw a person walking (except maybe in the anomolies of Westwood near UCLA and Santa Monica).  It's kinda creepy.  I was more afraid of dog attacks than when I jogged in small rural towns.  But, when you walk or jog there, be careful of jay walking!!  You can and will get a ticket.  I once almost got a ticket at 7:00 am in Pasedena on a Saturday.  I never saw any car or the cop until he "pulled me over".

 But, Josh, I'd have even more respect if you had walked home after a night game in LA.  Walking at night there is really weird...

Way to go, Josh! I used to walk to work in Atlanta. My coworkers would often see me and stop to ask if I needed a ride. 

of this video. maybe someone should start a "Walk to Work L.A." movement where once a week a large group of people head from their respective homes, and walk to work

I have a friend who went to visit a friend in LA and was stop by the police because he was walking on some road and ask "are you from NY" and responded yes -- well we figure since majority of people out here do not walk -- they use their car.
