Do any of you guys have any input for this? Do you think this could solve California's budget deficit crisis?
This has been talked about for decades. I actually think it would be a good thing. There are so many obstacles, however, I seriously doubt it will happen.
Here's a blog that's been around for awhile. It advocates splitting the state into three separate states: Three Californias
I would like to see that happen also like the above posters has stated their are lots of obstacles to go through. In the end dividing California would be great.
Their proposal is a little short-sighted in that it leaves out the entire northern quarter of the state!
There is a vast world north of San Francisco, but they seem to be ignoring it. Here's what they propose:
San Diego/Orange County/Inland Empire (socially conservative, Hispanic, heavily military)
Greater LA (Hollywood and Hispanics, very liberal)
San Francisco/Silicon Valley (Liberal, but very dynamic and market oriented)
Central (Conservative, Kansas-like)
I think the "three Californias" solution is a lot better - Northern, Coastal, and Southern.
