You could divide LA County into 4 boroughs:
1) Everything south of the 105 would be one borough
2) Everything east of the 710 and north of 60 (SGV) would be one borough
3) SFV plus Burbank, La Canada, and La Crescenta would be one borough
4) Central LA plus Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Santa Monica, Culver City, Glendale, Inglewood, Huntington Park, South Gate, Downey, Pico Rivera, Montebello, East LA, etc.
That's pretty balanced socioeconomically and population-wise, and also more in alignment with urban-cultural configurations.
