Nobody knows in advance what the tax situation would be, but it's hard to believe it would be any worse, and at least our taxes would be spent where we live. The examples of such independent cities as Burbank and Glendale are encouraging - they have clean streets, good police and fire protection and much better schools than the LAUSD. At any rate, I would even be willing to pay more for a voice in my local government. Right now I'm just a helpless serf on the LA downtown plantation.

I hear you. When I lived in So Cal, I lived in Glendale for the very reasons you're mentioning.
