Northern California would encompass almost the entire upper part of the state, including the Bay Area and Sacramento; California would include the Los Angeles area and extend along the coast through Monterey County; Southern California would include everything else, including Orange County, San Diego and Fresno, a map of the proposal showed.
Southern California would be the most populous of the three states, with 13.9 million residents, according to Californias Legislatives Analysts Office. Northern California would have 13.3 million residents, while California would have 12.3 million.

Keep the borders the way they are. Just stand by and wait for the “Big One” to drop LA and SF into the Pacific.
Expel the illegals and get rid of Gov. Moonbeam 2.0, and this idea would have even less support than it does today.

Nor would I. What happened to Jefferson? Those counties sure as heck want nothing to do with the Bay area liberal ones.
Yup. Dividing line should be north of Sacto.
