What happened to Jefferson? Those counties sure as heck want nothing to do with the Bay area liberal ones.

Exclude San Fran And LA from “Northern California”, and keep them in California and i would be okay with it.

Agree. Not how I would do it either. How come they did not ask us Ben?

It’d be perfect if they stretched the “California” map a touch more to the north and south, sucking up the rest of the libscum and consolidating them all in one place. Then we’d have ‘em surrounded.

Not how I would do it.

I agree, sheer lunacy. Northern California aside from the liberal Democrat San Francisco Bay Area coast and corridor to Sacramento, is conservative and some would say redneck. Upper and inland Northern California has nothing in common with San Francisco. Upper Northern California needs to be its own state, apart from San Francisco Bay Area.

On that proposed plan of Northern California, California and Southern California, the SF Bay Area should be combined with the (new) California region including the coast to Los Angeles. The rest of the (new) Northern California should be combined with the (new) Southern California to become (a new) East California, or become a separate state. That would make more sense if you're dividing the state into two or three parts. Some would say that old California should be divided into four to six parts, and that would also make sense.

This ballot initiative is doomed to failure.

As “new” states, they would have to be approved for inclusion I believe. So, we could just pick off just the most conservative of the bunch and let the rest stand alone.

Me either. I was hoping for secession, then secession from the seceded California itself back into the U.S. to leave the coast all by itself.

Not how the people involved want it either. This will keep California slaved to the city rule. Real Californian's want the State of Jefferson.

Nothing but gerrymandering.

And the Pot farms wont be able to get the weed to the southern population market because it is against the law to transport across state lines.

Lets triple the amount of state and federal red tape. What could go wrong?
