I'm way to impulsive for that. To get to a restaurant across town, head to a beach or venue without having to rely on transit. Weekend trips etc etc etc
This thing called rideshare started up a few years ago. You should try it.

not to mention car share programs plus many weekend getaways on the EC are easily done by train but there are car services for others.
I have a car but only use when leaving the city, I go many days without using my car with ease. Using the car is more difficult in the city
but again people all have their preferences
LA is awesome with a ton to do, it doesn't have the core of Philly in the urban sense but (is urban) the city (LA) has so much to offer these two are different but I personally love them both, think many would prefer LA but many might also prefer Philly
SLO is a long time quasi Philly hater so generally expect those types of comments especially if it involves Cali or even moreso SF. Maybe even San Louis Obisbo
Center city is nice but way to small to satisfy every need or want for variety.
Yep, you're a hater haha. Center City offers everything you could want for a car free lifestyle for every kind of person. Single, young couple, young professional, college student, young family, empty nester, retiree, straight, gay, white, black, Asian, middle eastern, Hispanic... doesn't matter.
We have that car-dependent LA like lifestyle too, it's called the suburbs.
You could also try Northwest or Northeast Philly.
The Main Line will give you a Northeast style LA-like vibe. Suburban areas, mansions, and urban, walkable areas all mixed together.
You want beach town living? No problem, Philly area's got that covered.
You can find pretty much any lifestyle you want in the Philadelphia region with relative ease. Stop acting like LA is so unique and different.
Ewww, I don't want to ride with any dirty strangers!
I’m considering going back to LA some time in the future because of family and I’m hoping this mentality ebbs substantially by that time. It’s probably why I’m so willfully optimistic about the urban core and transit in the region improving a decade or two from now.

Not hating at all, but center city is not that large. So after a while ya gotta venture out!
That's all fine 'n dandy, but LA is a monster and is unique especially compared to east coast cities.
