I live in Santa Monica, I've walked ~8k each day for the last 3 days around the city, don't own a car.
I don't own a car, so I haven't paid _too_ much attention to parking, but it seems like there isn't a whole lot of space down near the promenade, or basically anywhere in the whole touristy part of town.
I walked in some residential neighborhoods tonight, and lots of people had garages and driveways, so even one (admittedly long) block off of a thoroughfare, there was a large amount of on-street parking.
