If LBC isn't part of LA then neither is Compton or Inglewood. Which everyone claims as "LA".
It's weird out here. The City of LA and the County of LA are used interchangeably.
Its simple don't let these people who never been here confuse it. It's all considered LA period Compton/Inglewood/Santa monica/Culver City/Long Beach/Marina del Rey/West-North Hollywood/valley/hills/Calabasas/Westwood/Malibu
All of it for the people who want to know pretty much nobody lives in the actual city of Los Angeles we all live in the County of Los Angeles which is the size of the state of Georgia
