LA City is already 468 sq miles of land. NYC is 'only' 302 sq miles of land. Yes, some of the urban burbs and cities that surround LA should probably be included in the city limits-- the city boundaries are very funky and weirdly shaped. But one could just as easily make that same argument for NYC, and one could also argue that large portions of LA City have no business being part of the city. The San Fernando Valley, for example, has had multiple separatist movements over the years, as some residents feel that they are ignored by the city, and they are far more suburban than the part of the city on the other side of the mountains.

Also, Hollywood is a neighborhood of LA. Same with East Hollywood. West Hollywood is its own independent city. North Hollywood is another LA neighborhood, but in the Valley. Confusing, I know.
