I'm positive that the Los Angeles Basin is bigger than Rhode
Island.  Granted it is all divided up into little teeny
communities (Bel Air, West Hollywood, North Hollywood, Culver
City, Santa Monica, Hollywood, Brentwood, West L.A. being the
ones I come up with offhand) but everyone refers to it as just
L.A. (unless you're from Encino). But I've never been to Rhode
Island.  Anyway it seems perfectly possible to me -- but I'm
*from* L.A.
