I like Givemeyourmoneyopolis better, but that is an opinion

Curious comment from someone living in a county that had to declare bankruptcy.

If we split California, I vote we split it along the LA county and Ventura county line, then move that anti immigrant fence from the Mexican border and put it along the new border, solid, no holes, no road crossings, that will improve things a bunch for everyone north of the line.

Ok, full border, Ventura County to Kern County across San Berdoo to the Colorado, LA County, Orange County, Riverside County and San Berdoo, isolated by the anti immigration fence, although, I have no problem with the desert areas admitted to California. California keeps the Sierra Nevada, the Central Valley the coast from Conejo grade north.

That would cut the population down by half, but only reduce the land area by 1/3.

If you did divide the state into NorCal & SoCal, the fight to determine which part of the state would have gotten the impoverished Central California region with that 30% unemployment rate would be interesting watch.

We will take it, what difference does the unemployment rate mean in the most productive farmland in the Nation? Just as long as So Cal is separated by a good fence.

In the near future will be moving to either the proposed State of Jefferson or else out of what is now California entirely.
