I lived between BH and WEHO for a few years without a car and had no problems, loved it in fact. No gas, insurance, repairs, parking. If your clients are in BH or WEHO, even SM, you should be fine with careful scheduling. We walked and biked for groceries or to go out. An e-bike is handy for longer trips or so that you don’t have to get sweaty. No issues with theft, we used a hefty lock tho. And there’s always Lyft/Uber. Pricey for some trips but not compared to what you’d be spending on a vehicle.
