Cut off SF and LA. Problem solved.
I agree completely.
I really like LA. Especially Malibu and Santa Monica.
We need an East California and a West California. The west comprised of the coastal cities and all their liberal agendas.
We have North and South Dakota, North and South Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia, so it seems feasible. As it is today, we in the red counties (the vast majority of the state) are held hostage to the liberals concentrated in urban areas and as such, are subject to "taxation without representation". Our two U.S. senators do not represent approximately 3/4 of the state and this has gone on long enough.
