Its metro system is actually really good now. The real problem is that there are holes that still need to be filled. The core is there already, but there are only a few lines that go farther out into the county so they may not be useful to you if you live too far from them and are unwilling to use buses to get to them.
I’ve heard from residents that it’s really not built for people and the highways make getting around locally a pain in the ass. I wouldn’t know, I’m from Chicago and in the city, at least, we’ve got some halfway decent public transit.
I lived in LA before the first subway, moved away, and went back on vacation last summer. The difference is shocking to me. There are some areas where they are still putting in new stations that we had to uber around, but that was perhaps three times in two weeks, and we were going into the same area a few times. The rest of it–from Long Beach, Downtown, Hollywood, to Santa Monica–was all on metro.
