Though better known as the homeland of Hollywood, Los Angeles was built on oil. More than 5,200 oil and gas wells sprawl across the city, making it one of the largest urban oil fields in the country.
But on Wednesday, the Los Angeles City council voted unanimously to phase out drilling in the city, a move environmental justice advocates have been working toward for years.
