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.

You mentioned "seeing" the mountains. Unless they are really bad drivers and/or Asian, they likely see the mountains while driving over them.

Well I meant like go to the mountains to hike, or camp or whatever people do in the mountains. I've been to Southern California, I drove through them to get into LA, and yes alot of the really nice houses are in the "hills". Well there we have it, theres just millions of more things to do in Southern California because you drive, um, through the mountains?

Mountain living translates well to a Midwest lifestyle. But it is expensive and highly sought after. And when you're sick of your neighbors it's only a 15 min drive down the mountain and you disappear.

How will us Midwestern's ever survive without the awesomeness of those west coast people?

Do we bow when you grace our states with your presence?

Sometimes I wish we didn't have shit to do out here in no mans land... We are freaking busy with festivals every weekend, concerts here and there, NBA, NFL, College Football, camping, wake boarding, hunting, fishing, casinos, Pro and minor league soccer.... Every weekend is packed with something going on...

How will we ever survive the boredom? Maybe we should build tee pees or something...

Which one- the "claimed" largest or the "official" one. It is quite the competition going on between the two.

It really is the amount of the shit you have going on, but the relative quality of the shit.

Indeed, I completely agree with that. But, I do take issue with the "Kansas is just as good as Colorado/California" statements.
