I always figured when people say they from L.A., they're talking about the county, not the city.Long Beach and Compton aren't 30 miles outside LA though, and those are examples non-Angelenos try to use as a false equivalency. Compton runs right along SC's Eastside, and Long Beach is directly to the southeast of Compton...
This is Los Angeles, bro. We all know Snoop and Game are from Long Beach and Compton and yet they've both publicly claimed "Los Angeles" many, many times. It's only non-Angelenos confused by thispeople from LA understand what's going on...
Imagine being on one part of Compton Blvd and being in Watts and then go a block the other way and be in Compton and saying that if you're on the Compton side of Compton Ave you aren't from Los Angelesthat's how ridiculous this gets. On a micro scale we all understand block and hood affiliations and jurisdictions. But on a macro scale this is all Los Angeles, bruh...
Compton is essentially just an extension of Eastside South Central, it's as much it's own thing as Watts or Athens or actual hoods "in the city", but it's still Los Angeles bro. All these areas that border LA proper are LA; Compton is directly south of Watts and Long Beach is right after Compton...
I don't know what they do in Florida...

I just found this out
that's LA whether it's a suburb or not
Damn near every city's suburb in the US is an integral part of the actual city. New York is really the only city where it's basically it's own thing
Yeah but NJ and Philly are part of the NY orbit in the same way that opposite sides of LA metro are.

Detroit too because it's so segregatedthat's LA whether it's a suburb or not

I don't think there is a specific city named Los Angeles. I'm being serious. It's weird but true. Maybe Downtown. But every other area is called by their neighborhood name (Ladera Heights, Downey, Malibu, etc).
Combined it's all LA, though.

Do you recognize the existence of an 'East Sac?"Long Beach and Compton aren't 30 miles outside LA though, and those are examples non-Angelenos try to use as a false equivalency. Compton runs right along SC's Eastside, and Long Beach is directly to the southeast of Compton...

Well we call Rosemont and Rancho and all that shyt "East Sac". The "East Sac" for white Sacramentans is where Sac State is at, I guess that's the "technical" East Sac. All that shyt is East Sacramento to me though, the college area, the area over by them big tennis courts, Rancho, Rosemont all that shyt...
What do you consider East Sac?
This is kind of a California thing in general I think, because we call North Highlands part of the "Nutty North", everybody consider that some Northside shyt...

@RiverCity916 I'm be honest too, if the light rail run there, that shyt is Sacramento to me. Light rail run out to Rancho, Elk Grove and North Highlands. All that shyt is Sacramento, on a block affiliation yeah we be on some "nikka you from Elk Grove" shyt but that shyt is Sacramento...
People from Broward don’t claim Miami but just about everywhere in Dade claim MiamiNot really. LA, Atlanta, Buffalo are some cities where it’s like that but it’s not the norm.
Kodak will tell you he from Pompano, Broward County he don’t claim Miami because Miami never claimed them or looked at themselves as better.
DC nikkas don’t jack MoCo or PG county dudes as DC dudes.
Philly same thing, Chicago too.
It’s weird claiming people from 30+ miles outside of the city in cities with hellacious traffic
I don’t know much bout Philly or Camden but nah it’s one thing to claim a city your city is in the metropolitan area of that’s in the same state but not when u gotta cross state lines to get there
PG and DC one exception I can understand but other than that, nah
Yonkers Mt Vernon New Rochelle and Westchester county as a whole could claim NYC before Camden can claim Philly and I’m pretty sure Camden dudes don’t claim Philly anyway
Why outside the Hollywood studios?This recent news article bout LA and thread related had me smh.

Mane, I don't know what's going on with Washington sending billions of foreign aid overseas while Americans in many cities are living in third world conditions. Jackson Mississippi, the state capitol went without potable drinking water last year.
