Quote note (#150)
The greatest obstacle to territorial innovation in the United States is status quo bias:
… the state of California happens to be really big. Clocking in at just under forty million inhabitants makes it the most populous U.S. state by a healthy margin. It has over ½ the population of Turkey, is on par with Poland, and eclipses Canada. You can’t drive its north-south length without blocking out at least twelve hours from your schedule. […] Pristine governance however, doesn’t seem to be its strong suit. The Golden State came in at 30th in the most recent 24/7 Wall Street survey of the best and worst-run states, up from 2013’s last place finish. Cali sports a solid 7.0% unemployment rate as of December according to BLS, which is good for 49th in the country. It ranks 35th in terms of poverty rates and dead-last when geographically adjusted. This is hardly a bulletproof case for carving up California like a piece of meat, but it seems like a damn good start.

Rand Simberg had a series about this about a year ago, “Six Flags Over California”. I don’t see an index for the six individual articles.

Hell, dynamize the process and throw in a doubling period.

I could be split into 4 states: northern, southern, west (bay area), and east . It would help the GOP, get more electoral votes that’s for sure
