>>100750637Califag here, no one lives in those red areas, particularly the eastern side. The reason those counties are so big is because A LOT of it is straight up inhabitable, its mountains and desert.
>>100750634Also actual San Franciscofag here too. I've never, even from my most liberal acquaintances, ever heard from another Californian that splitting up the state is a good idea. Who the fuck would want that, California on its own is practically sustaining. NorCal provides the bulk of water to the state. The Bay Area part provides the bulk of financial wealth. Central provides a great deal of agricultural products, for some reason the rest of the country doesn't realize California actually makes more money off farms than any other state. Every part needs the other and only a retard doesn't know this. Shit, the online petition was literally created by some Russian fag that isn't even an actual US citizen.
California is a pretty nice place, we've got lots of things to do and see here. Don't let vocal idiots online pepper what you think it's like. Most people are pretty laid back here.
