Where can I flat in LA that has very good public transport?

Hi, I don't have a car and so I'm dependent on public transport. Where abouts in LA can I flat that has good public transport? Can I flat in downtown LA so I could walk everywhere? What is it like?

1. They're not called flats. Apartments Why would you want to live in LA? Craphole
2. what do you want to do where do you want go ? the transit system is okay (it depends what you want go since LA is HUGHE and how long do you plan to stay in LA most aparrments are rented year to year (or leased) most manger wont eeven rent It you if you are only stay a week or month and in some area the transit is good in other its bad
3. The busses in LA are nasty. As for walking....... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jR3dgARIr6E nobody walks in LA
4. LA has an okay public transport system, it is a very large place so it is still a work in progress. Depends on where you would be working as well. Downtown LA is walkable but a bit expensive for what it is. I would try Santa Monica, very walkable and good transport (buses).
5. Get a place in downtown or North Hollywood along the red line subway. Or in Koreatown within walking distance of the gold line.
6. You kids from the UK have such a lovely accent, even while you type. Here in the States, they use the term "apartment" for the place where you "live". Flat is not a verb here. It's what happens to your tire if you run over a nail. Other American vocabulary: English "chips" are called "french fries" or just "fries". English "crisps" are called "chips" here. The "lift" is called the "elevator", and the "elevator is called an "escalator". Unlike other cities, downtown is not really a desirable place yet. It's still pretty unsafe. Despite that, there are some lofts that can be purchased in the $400,000's. LA is not like other cities. Everything is so spread out here. And the rail system was delayed during the time when it should have been growing, so we have a very poor rail system at the moment. For safer living conditions, I recommend areas like Irvine or Fullerton, which are close to public transit and were planned better.
7. Now that we've established that it's "apartment," let's move on the question. You want to live as close as possible to your job. Otherwise, you want to live near the Metrolink train line. Pasadena, Glendale, Burbank are options that I know of. But I'm Valley-biased." By the way, you rent an apartment here, not let an apartment. If you said "I want to let an apartment." We would say, "Let it do what?"
