Why would voters outside the valley vote to support valley cityhood?
Once people in other areas understand that the Valley leaving Los Angeles will not be allowed to impact them financially, they recognize that if the Valley leaves, the remaining portion of Los Angeles will be smaller and more manageable and they too will benefit. This country is based on the premise that we don’t hold people against their will. If 1.2 million Valley residents want to leave, and it will not hurt the rest of the City financially, why hold Valley residents against their will. Additionally, other areas such as San Pedro, Wilmington, Venice, Westchester, Hollywood, Pacific Palisades, Eagle Rock, South Central and the Westside are also considering Cityhood and are sympathetic with the Valley residents.
