  I wonder how much the city of LA would pay to get La.com back haha.

    Why a city would want a .com tld? A .gov tld would be far more applicable IMO

      Annoyingly, people are more likely to “blind guess” at .com than .gov, just cause there’s more of them

        Do people even still exist who have the arcane knowledge to type in a domain directly?

      I would guess tourism. It seems like that’s what it’s currently used for.

    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.
