You guys are going to drop into the ocean !
I'll stay in in in the middle of BC, Canada thanks LOL

Amazing how you forget about them earthquakes and ring of fire threats so quickly.

A big one is looming for California and you all know it (now that i reminded you)

EDIT:
Funny i was just sayin' hahahha

2 weeks ago i got one around 3.4 in BC then 2 days later my room-mate in Mexico got a 6.4
and now i see on my local news..

The U.S. Geological Survey says in a preliminary report that the magnitude-4.4 quake hit in foothills northwest of San Bernardino about 5:38 p.m. at a depth of about three miles. Minutes later it was followed by aftershocks of magnitude 3.8 and 3.2.

I had to come back and edit my post LOL

Deliberately moving to a nasty fault zone for tech-scene, money and night club life is retarded.
Like moving into Tornado alley  Roll Eyes

Traditionally earthquakes of this size are a monthly occurrence in Southern California, but "it's been quieter for the last few years," Jones said.

Your country may be your worst enemy
Wow! I couldn't imagine this was possible, dividing California. Is this what the locals want?

Doesn't change anything in my mind, though. California's an awful place to live, except for mixed-race genetically-modified tattooed transgender socialists who smoke crack every morning.

Silicon Valley would be my move of choice.  There are always great things happening there and tons of money to be made is you are willing to work hard.  Not to mention the networking you could do with the next Bill Gates.  Lets make this move.

Been to Catalina Island as a kid and SoCal when I was in the Marines.  Couldn't complain about that part of the state.  I bet the mountain ranges are nice.

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).

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.

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

Quote
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.

Silicon Valley is nice place hehe i like it Cheesy

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.

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.
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

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. Grin Anyway, Silicon Valley, although that's not really what it should be called.....

what does California offer that Florida doesn't.  oh i know, Inn-and-Out burgers.  name something else.  oh wait u can't

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!  Cheesy
