Six Californias
[i][quote]A California venture capitalist says the state is too big to govern - so he wants to split it up.
The San Jose Mercury News says Tim Draper is proposing a voter initiative calling on Congress to split the state into six regions. One would be called Silicon Valley and include the Bay Area and even Monterey.
Other folks might find themselves living in the states of South California, Central California and Western California. The wine country would be folded into North California and the far north would become Jefferson - a state first proposed in the 1940s.[/quote][/i]
While it's highly unlikely to pass, I do find this very interesting.
Should California be split up into multiple states? What could the possible benefits or problems be?

1 ReplyWe should just sell Cali to China. You know the Chinese would really like a foothold on this continent, and would buy up Cali really quickly if it was put up for sale. Perfect for shipping routes and incorporating Silicon Valley into the Chinese business paradigm. They would probably pay whatever the asking price was too. I'm sure Californians would not like it initially, but they seem to accept whatever life hands them eventually. Losing Hollywood would probably be a good thing for the U.S.A. because what have they done for us to warrant their continued existence and protection lately? Nothing. Losing Silicon Valley would be a bigger problem, but a good portion of that is moving to Texas and Idaho now anyway, so they would recover. The big problem would be losing Cali's agricultural empire. That is far and away the most valuable thing in Cali's arsenal, and we would definitely miss that. Oh well. To make an omelet and all that.
