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. |

Nobody ever really knows when they're in love with an ugly girl. They're just happy to be in love.

How about the comparative numbers of visitors/vacationers? Do many people without relatives or friends who live there sit down with the family and plan out a vacation to Missouri or Kansas versus California or Colorado?

I love Kansas for the plains and prairies, the sunsets are amazing. You cant beat Colorado for the mining history and Mountains... I have only been to California a few times. What I saw was pretty nice. It has a lot to offer. Palm Springs, LA, SF and Oakland... Just like any state, its what you make of it. I have lived across this country in many different states and everyone offers its own set of natural wonders. |

Nevada has legalized prostitution. I'll take that over your gay sunsets and mining history.

I'll speed down his street at 100 mph. And tell Chris Brown & Justin Bieber that Dane is comin' for 'em
But seriously, I'm not disputing that the natural beauty of California & Colorado isn't better than Iowa or Kansas. But for the vast majority of people this doesn't translate for more to do. I just see it everyday when I'm in Miami, LA, or Vegas just the view people have of people from the Midwest. I tell them I'm from Kansas and they automatically think that I live on a farm, and that my day consists of milking cows. They seem to be completely oblivious that there are buildings higher than two stories here & think that there is literally nothing to do except watch paint dry. I usually just go along with it, tell them I herd goats & farm wheat or something. And just totally make shit up to go along with their stereotype about me. They always ask me why I don't have a Southern Accent too, wtf do you people not look at a map?
