Why California still hasn't split on 2 states? (Los Angeles, San Diego: live, law)

With all the practice they have adding stars, I'm sure they've got it figured out. I've said this before and I'll say it again; no US president has died under the same flag he was born under.

Not true.

"All cities in California - except Oakland - rated poorly: Oakland (B-), San Francisco (C-), Anaheim (D+), San Jose (D+), Santa Rosa (D), Riverside (D), Los Angeles (D), Oxnard (F), San Diego (F), and Sacramento was named the least friendly city in the country, earning an F."

According to this survey, not only is Los Angeles one of the least business friendly cities in the state, but it is less business friendly than all of the major northern cities except for Sacramento. Furthermore, Northern California comes across as more business friendly than Southern California, as a whole.

And I think you can see this in the types of businesses in these cities. Oakland has a lot of mom and pop places. More than many other cities. San Jose has more chains and big box retailers and San Diego has the most I've seen as far as chains are concerned.

And who cares, dude, if riddens is a word or not? Is it against the liberal dictionary to play with words?

I would argue that even LA is less liberal than the Bay Area.

Playing with words? Yep sounds like someone who grew up on the Central Coast and never left.

Just imagine how LA could be if small business and manufacturing became areas of focus.

Yeah, like fertilizer plants that just explode now and then. Who needs regulations that might interfere with all those minimum wage part-time manufacturing jobs?

If it's low-paying crap jobs you're so hot on, California already has plenty. It's called agriculture.

Only slightly more plausible than Ted Cruz becoming Mayor of Berkeley.

I will wait patiently for your answer.

The line represents the fact that LA / San Diego is geographically (think longitude) on the eastern side of the state. It doesn't represent a political boundary. Longitudinal lines are straight (well, when looking right at them, curved if you're looking at an adjacent longitude.)

So in other words, after so many days, you weren't able to find such a web page. There's a reason for that you know but you go right ahead and stay on that train till it derails.

Actually, there is such a website that shows the photo with the line drawn. As StandingLenticular stated, it wasn't a photo that showed political boundaries. It's merely to show that Reno is farther west than Los Angeles.
