East LA is a famous Mexican-American community, but even a lot of people who live there aren't aware that it's an "unincorporated" area, governed remotely by the County Supervisors.
Cityhood supporters in East LA are closer now than they have been since 1974 to realizing their dream of local control. With the help of a loan from the state legislature, the East Los Angeles Residents Association (ELARA) is far into the formal process of proposing a City of East Los Angeles. If a forthcoming financial study finds evidence that it would work, a new generation of voters could get the chance to empower their iconic community.
It's a great start to get away from the nearly unfunctionable Los Angeles County. The problem is that L.A. County's unincorporated communities are sporadic, which makes it tough to provide specific needs to those communities. It's a shame that Hacienda Heights failed in 2003.
