I'm looking to relocate to a new city. I'm currently living in Portland, Oregon and I ended up selling my car and use public transit. It's hard adjusting to but I got the hang of it and I'm saving a good 500 a month without car payments, insurance, gas and maintance.
The public transit here is GREAT if you are in city limits. I work in mechanical and electrical manufacturing so most of those types of firms are almost in the suburbs of a city.
What cities have great public transit systems? Besides New York, I used to live there, I don't like it.
I was looking into LA, but the transit only goes so far.
are you willing to ride the bus or just rail? I think most major cities have extensive bus routes. Rail seems to be a northeast thing. the other cities are just now trying to catch up to what the northeast has.

You need to basically memorize this map then and see if it will work for you. 10% of Angelenos take public transportation, so 90% of commuters are taking something else to work. It essentially only works for so many people and the car culture will probably get to you. http://www.metro.net/riding_metro/ma...System_Map.pdf
Besides NYC (which you said you don't like), Washington D.C., San Francisco, Chicago, Boston, and Philadelphia are the cities where a decent amount of the workers use P.T.
