I was in the same position when working in los angeles. There is light rail now, but doesn't reach wide area, and if you work a weird work schedule like graveyard to do news editing, you're sunk.
To use "mass transit" and get to work, I would have had to take a bus to to the light rail station, then the train to LA, then shuttle bus to job. Problem was the last bus that connected with the train was around 7 p.m. and when i got there, standing a bus stop alone at night in downtown LA, no.
Then, to get home, would have to do it all over, again. Total of 2 hrs one way, sometimes more, mass transit. Driving--1 hr.
I've been out of LA for a few years, moving back for school, and the cost of gas is affecting where I look for housing. I would love to live at the beach again, but it's too far for school.
