Thus, public transportation is my only option.
I beg to differ.
I had absolutely no problems switching to right-hand drive in Thailand and Australia. It's much, much easier than you would think.
I might concur with your friends if you were attempting to drive in New York City, but Los Angeles's huge, wide lanes and wide streets, streets on a consistent grid (mostly), lack of one-way streets and random disappearing lanes, no issues with having your lane turn into parking and having to dodge cars, etc., make driving in Los Angeles very, very easy.
I would very strongly suggest renting a car (add a GPS if you're worried about getting lost). Driving in the U.S. (and California in particular) is not difficult.
