Oh, possibly because it's the largest city in the UNITED STATES on the  
west coast. Most people from the west coast know that LA is in the  
same time zone. (Sarcasm... )

However, I do know of one person from Redondo Beach (loosely a suburb  
of LA) that didn't know Oregon was on the coast. He actually tried to  
tell me I had to drive through Idaho to get to the coast.

I know, it would probably be better to just use UTC +/- X, but that  
has issues too.
