Flip Flop: Parts of Orange County May Become L.A. County, and Vice Versa

Consider this housekeeping. Some boundaries between L.A. and Orange counties, mostly by the Alamitos Bay and the San Gabriel River, are considered a bit backwards and "illogical." Now a number of cities are passing resolutions to better organize their borders so things make sense to them.

In Long Beach, the city stands to gain about 35 acres and lose around 43 acres, a mix of land swaps with Seal Beach and Los Alamitos. The Long Beach City Council will discuss the changes tonight and if approved, each respective county has to vote on the changes followed by the Local Agency Formation Commission in each county.

That's a lot of hoops, but hopefully the end result is better government efficiency and clarity.
