Sorry, I'm not familiar with California counties. I thought he was one of those people advocating splitting off the very northern part of California, the part north of the Bay Area. There was a movement to do that long, long ago, called the "State of Jefferson" IIRC.
Yeah, splitting the state in half around the mid-section does make sense; the state is too large, and the north and south halves are pretty different from each other. While they're at it, Las Vegas should probably join the southern half.
- dragonwriter 11y agoNo, the North and South halves aren't very different (particularly, they are less different than a similarly over simplistic coastal/inland divide.)
- beatpanda 11y agoThe State of Jefferson is alive and well, according to a surprisingly large number of billboards in my home town.
- thrownaway2424 11y agoI find these billboards amusing when I am up in the "empty quarter". The State of Jefferson folks believe in sovereignty but wouldn't have the economy to maintain even a fraction of their roads, or to fight a fraction of their fires.
- Grishnakh 11y agoYeah, that's why I think they should just join up with Oregon instead. They probably have a lot more in common culturally (and geographically) with Oregon than they do any place in California.
