One issue that could be addressed internally is the number of state representatives and the city/rural allocation.
From my understanding California still has the same number of state representatives(from when it was admitted to the US)
So a city will have like 12 and the millions of acres around it will only have 1. I think this is a general problem(under-representation) in the US e.g. The House but California is even more clear example of it.
- niij 8y agoSplitting the state wouldn't give rural areas more representatives in the House, would it? It's proportional to population and splitting wouldn't increase the population.
