The city of LA should not get a .com name. They might have a case that la.com should not have a .com either (they look like a tourist .org though if they are not acting like a .org they are scammers) - but this would be a very hard sell in court. The city of LA should have a .gov (which won't allow them) or .us (which is not organized well - something they should be mad about and pressure to get fixed) name.

I think the initial goal of top level domains having any real meaning is dead.

And that’s ignoring the state of LA.

What sucks is that a lot of commercial companies in L.A. use the .la domain, which is blocked by my company’s proxy.
