Interesting to note that there are quite a few nearer than Sagittarius A, as of 2022 we know of one at 1.5 kly: universemagazine.com/en/discovered-the-closest-black-hole-to-the-sun/
It is interesting that a few months earlier there seemed to be no known specific black holes in the Milky Way: www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2022/hubble-determines-mass-of-isolated-black-hole-roaming-our-milky-way-galaxy although their count is estimated to be in the hundreds of millions.
For comparison, remember that the Milky Way is 185 kly in diameter x 2 kly thick.
