Bajalta California

Bajalta California

Bajalta California is the urban complex straddling the Mexico–United States border at the Pacific Ocean. It consists of Southern California and the Baja California cities of Tijuana and Mexicali. As defined by Michael Dear and Gustavo Leclerc of USC, Bajalta California contains metropolitan Los Angeles, San Diego, Tijuana, and Mexicali.

Note that the term "Bajalta California" appears to be used almost exclusively, per [http://www.google.com/search?q=%22Bajalta+California Google] , in discussions of Dear & Leclerc's book.
