We probably need to break up quite a few of our larger population states. The citizen to representative ratio is seriously out of whack when compared to other states and I believe that our republic is showing signs of strain from the decreasing connection between citizens and representation.
It’s probably also time to consider city states for some of our most densely populated areas. If a city has a larger population than the rest of a state it WILL begin to twist the entirety of state politics around it and abandon the legislative needs and priorities of the rest of the state.
California should be broken into three states with most of the libs packed into one of the three. That way when they eventually bankrupt the state they’ll only be taking about 4% of the U.S. economy instead of the present 12%. It’s in our (those of us outside CA) best interest financially to see this happen.
If California ever gets a Republican-controlled legislature again, they should start the process.
