i live in southern california but just heard of this
recently. apparently hollywood, which is part of the
city of los angeles, wants to seceed and create a new
independent city. on top of that the san fernando
valley which is the north part of the city of los
angeles, wants to break off too. voters will be asked
to decide the future of LA on november 5. here's a
link with articles :

(you have to register first before you can read them).

the various polls seem to be all over the place my
assumption is that this will be an interesting thing
to watch come election day. will this be the birth of
2 new cities? one of which would become the 6th
largest city in the usa, effectively making chicago
larger than LA. as an aside, the new 'san fernando
valley city' doesnt seem to have a name yet! it is
consistently referred to as the 'new valley city'

sending the 2 maps from the la times site too.
