Also as a Native Californian - I question the logic of any proposal that splits the LA area into two states. Orange County is an integral part of the Los Angeles region. If they were just talking about splitting in to two states - Northern California, and Southern California it might be more viable, as there are distinct cultural lines in the state to be drawn - but three states makes no sense to me, especially with the boundaries drawn as they are.
