The Los Angeles City Council
District 4 (Sherman Oaks, Hollywood, Mid-Wilshire, Los Feliz, Koreatown)
This is one of the most nonsensically-drawn districts in all of America and I wish I understood why all of these neighborhoods were grouped together, but I really don’t.
CD4 has always been screwed up. Over the years John Ferraro tried to keep CD4 anchored on its historic base, but as the Valley population grew more rapidly it was forced to stretch northwest. It got worse when Ruth Galanter was "fired" by the rest of the City Council from representing LAX. After that, CD11 vacated its areas in the Valley to move south to Westchester/LAX. CD4 then gobbled up some more Valley.
