Measure splitting California into 3 states

what you guys think will happen to the housing?

manch · June 14, 2018, 4:47pm

It ain’t gonna happen. If it did, sell everything you have. Without the moderating influence of SoCal, NorCal will become a communist state. We’ll be looking at not just rent control but also sale control.

i thought we’re already a communist state.

You’re starting to sound like a Libertarian. There’s a Libertarian running for the state legislature here. He was a leading force organizing the revolt against the head tax on employers.

He’s also promoting a non-profit that helps create detached units on SFH lots to increase housing supply. He’s saying it should be a solution to increasing housing supply and helping the homeless. He’s attacked the 700 page building code as a major reason housing isn’t more affordable.

@manch said he was a Libertarian at heart. He’s just returning to his roots.

This is really a very wierd way to split the state. Anything looking so abnormal is bond to fail. The most silly part of it is splitting Orange County away from Los Angeles. Who in the right mind came up with that?

If I were to do it, I would just try for 2 states: NorCal and SoCal. The boundary would just be a straight line across the top of San Luis Obsipo, Kern, and San Bernardino.

My thought2. North and South is good enough. 好事成对

They want Republicans to get more electoral votes that’s why, no matter how small it is.

wuqijun · June 14, 2018, 7:10pm

If that’s the case, then San Francisco can become it’s own city-state to balance it out.

dioworld · June 14, 2018, 7:11pm

I think it’s opposite. adding 4 more senate
all 3 states gonna go democrat as well if split. democrat completely controls the media and how people think.

harriet · June 14, 2018, 7:15pm

No way. Central California is pretty red.

manch · June 14, 2018, 8:30pm

I was a libertarian. Now I am more of a Gates and Buffett “liberal”. I’d prefer market based solution but understand it’s not a panacea for every ill.

This type of commies are fairly common in Jane Kim’s district:

This guy is clueless about how the world works. Let’s not waste time with him or his posts.

“Each new state could adopt different laws, either stricter or more lenient, on these issues than what California currently has on the books. For example, the new states may limit or discontinue Proposition 13’s inflexible limits on taxes”

If there is a good excuse to mess around Proposition 13, Cal 3 is it. We need to fight hard to prevent that from happening and defeat it!!

And fight equally for keeping rent control too!

Rent control in California is largely the creation of its municipalities and cities. If there were state rent control in California, I would have sold all properties for sure. On the other hand, pro landlord Costa–Hawkins is a California state law, enacted in 1995, which places limits on municipal rent control ordinances. It together with Ellis Act will be re-evaluated in the new Cal 3 states. It will be a nightmare.

Crap. We get stuck with Sacramento? Forget it!

I’ll vote for the split as long as Sacramento ends up on it’s own separate state.

Meguro · June 15, 2018, 7:15pm

I think this is Draper’s way of keeping 3 states all Demo. Not voting for this.
