I take transit all the time. But the problem isn't that I can't go to lots of places via transit, it's that I can't to the places I need to go in a timely fashion. For instance, I drive 15 mins to work everyday. To get there via transit would take me over an hour and a half and require a half mile walk. There are places to live within a 30 minute transit ride of my work or less, but none of them are dense and walkable enough to consider not having a car in.
So even though I live in a dense, transit rich area going carless isn't an option for me. And that's pretty typical for most people in SD right now, the majority of jobs aren't well connected to the walkable urban areas.
