It takes time and has to happen organically, and you need repeated exposure to the same people for something to develop.
So, sports teams are a good one. Beer league slo-pitch has a pace which is very conducive to socialization.
maybe head to a local pub a few times, somewhere that has a vibe which encourages mingling (Cold Garden in Inglewood comes to mind)
Get a dog and go for regular walks in your neighborhood, you'll cross paths with a lot of the same people frequently and strike up conversations. Plus, the dog obviously will be your best friend.
I know most people go to the gym to focus and workout, but a surprising amount of people want to be chatty there, plus you'll obviously get the phsyical benefits (I say this with zero knowledge of your current fitness level).
