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?

  • Why is always California that's to large to be governed? Texas and Alaska are much larger, but no one ever wants to split them into into a bunch of smaller "more manageable" states. [spoiler]It's a ploy to break up a major democratic voting block into smaller more manageable pieces so that the Republicans can win a few of them. The reason you don't see it with Texas at the moment is because it's largely a red state. However if it ever becomes blue like some political analysts believe it will you'll start seeing similar calls to break up Texas into smaller states too. [/spoiler]
