And yes, Los Angeles County needs better representation in terms of its Board of Supervisors. I remember reading somewhere back in the 1990s that by virtue of LA County being the most populated county in the whole US, and having only 5 Supervisors, for a locally elected government position, each Supervisor is in a very politically powerful position.

Southern California always struck me as more 'down to earth' politically compared to the Bay Area which tends to act more abstractly.
