Which of the 6 new states would you move to if given a choice?

[Lauda]

I'm in LA right now. Happy to move up north. Don't let anyone fool you, Los Angeles is a total pit of a place....

Seriously? Why is that?
I'm pretty sure that I'd move to Silicon Valley.

i really wanted to visit california and by choosing which state? i dunno maybe the near in the sea is much better since im always at the city so i will choose the most quiet enviroment

[DjPxH]

Difficult, I've only been to 2 of those areas I guess. I don't like a climate that is too hot... Maybe Silicon Valley, if it incorporates San Francisco in this classification! It's an interesting city!

I'd rather fucking exile to Arizona. It is false hope to the extreme to think that the tyrannical status quo will ever end in the geographical area currently known as California, no matter how many states it's divided into. Show me a single county in CA whose government does not violate human rights now (and therefore may continue to do so post-split-up).

No hurricanes.

No gators, no mosquitoes, no humidity for the most part.  No tropical rainstorms and lightning.

Barring all that I would choose to move out of LA and over to someplace in FL.

Funny everybody wants to live in Silicon Valley, but the cost of living would just shoot up even higher.  The whole SV state would be like NY Upper East Side and land would be more expensive than anywhere on Earth.  Agricultural CA would be able to charge $10 per avocado! 

[BitcoinMillionaire]

I love to be in Silicon Valley.

[Marbit]

LOL, this really makes this Draper guy look like a real moron. Although that press conference a couple weeks ago already established that pretty well. Anyway, Silicon Valley, although that's not really what it should be called.....

Before you move to Silicon Valley, you should
 
- assess your savings and see how long those will last
- plan accordingly
- be prepared to answer "equity only" offers, especially with nascent startups
- build business contacts and/or get introductions in the area prior to arrival

[chshabbir]

Silicon Valley,

[HarHarHar9965]

Silicon Valley is nice place hehe i like it

Yeah, except as carved out here, it's probably more appropriately called the San Francisco Bay Area. This Draper guy doesn't know what he's talking about.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/07/15/california-billionaire-claims-juice-to-put-scheme-to-carve-out-six-states-on/

Timothy Draper, a venture capitalist founder of a Silicon Valley-based venture capital firm that has invested in such tech companies as Twitter, HotMail, Skype and Tesla, told Reuters he has the 808,000 signatures needed on a petition to force the measure onto a public referendum in November 2016. Under the far-fetched plan, one state would be called "Silicon Valley" and would include the tech mecca, as well as San Francisco.

"California needs a reboot," Draper, who has spent $4.9 million of his own money on the effort, said in a press release. "Six Californias is our opportunity to solve the many problems we face today. ... Six states that are more representative and accountable. Six states that embrace innovation and strive to improve the lives of residents."

I wonder, what are the chances of getting this Draper dude into Bitcoin? Do you thing he'll make a good fit and all? Then again, a person of his stature probably wouldn't want any heat from the FBI, et al, thus don't spend too much time trying to convince him about the merits of Bitcoin. The last thing we want is to have such a dude thinking that bitcoins are mainly used for illegal activities on the internet, i.e. purchasing drugs, and we surely don't want them to think that.

What a weird idea, why so many states? i mean they could have been 2 or 3 but six states are way too much.

Yeah, it's bizarre alright. Just some crackpot idea from a crazy rich guy. If anything, 2 states -- north and south -- because yes, they are already like two different countries. But that's it.

[Argwai96]

I'm torn between Jefferson and North California. And Silicon Valley (I agree, weird choice of names. Trying to pump his industry, If I were to guess).

[Gleb Gamow]

I wonder how far they're along in splitting up California.
