Could California be split up into 6 states?
Billionaire Wants To Break Up California Into 6 States.

http://sourcefed.com/billionaire-wan...into-6-states/

Silicon Valley enthusiast, and venture capitalist Tom Draper is known for backing incredible companies such as Hotmail, Tesla Motors, and Skype. Now he’s backing a new proposal: Breaking up California into 6 separate states.

Draper feels a large state such as California would be better served by smaller governments. Roger Salazar, a spokesmen for the campaign stated:

“It’s important because it will help us create a more responsive, more innovative and more local government, and that ultimately will end up being better for all of Californians. The idea … is to create six states with responsive local governments – states that are more representative and accountable to their constituents.”

The campaign has gathered over 800,000 signatures needed to place the measure onto the November 2016 ballot, but opponents say that it has little chance making it past both the voters and Congress. Steven Maviglio, a Democratic political strategist who has formed the group OneCalifornia with GOP strategist Joe Rodota to fight Draper’s plan stated:

“This is a colossal and divisive waste of time, energy, and money that will hurt the California brand. It has zero chance of passage. But what it does is scare investment away… at a time when the Governor is leading us to an economic comeback.”

Draper’s plan splits the world’s eighth-largest economy along geographic lines creating the states.

Silicon Valley would include the valley along with the San Francisco Bay Area, Jefferson would encompass the northernmost region, North California would encompass the state capital of Sacramento, while South California would be made up of San Diego and the eastern suburbs of Los Angeles. Los Angeles would be part of a state called West California.

Central California would take Fresno, Bakersfield, and Stockton and would also be the largest of the six.

Why not just nuke L.A., S.F. and Sacramento? That would save on the paperwork.

Yawn. Various non-personalities have been proposing this for decades. It's not going anywhere.

Humboldt County, CA is prob one of the best places to live in the USA.
Whew. Good thing there are no home depot or successful large businesses that offer goods and services better and cheaper than everybody else. I was almost getting worried there. Ill pray that Trader Joes doesnt come and ruin everything

There aren't many prairies on Grand Cayman, though. Lots of wild chickens and iguanas.

Really!
We just go to places like the East Coast and Colorado, Wyoming, Utah and Montana. Just never made it there. I travel, but when I do it is usually for family and trout fishing.

Which part of Colorado are you talking about? The 50% that is exactly like western Kansas, or the small portion where everyone is crammed in the front range? Western Colorado is awesome, too. I don't think anyone lives there outside of a few small towns.

As long as you don't mind rain and fog. I know lots of people are fine with it. But I get seasonal effective disorder really easily. Lots of sunshine is good for my well-being. I wouldn't mind living in the desert if I could make a living out there.

It doesn't rain here like it used to. We do get fog/overcast sometimes. Better than 100deg weather.
