Topic: Which of the 6 new states would you move to if given a choice? - page 3. (Read 2560 times)
Silicon Valley, because is the only subdivision of California that I have some informations about.
Ive always wanted to visit CA. Would def choose Norcal..
I would have to see the politics of each; as of right now Cali as a whole is not a very good option to move to, it's over-regulated and the wealth disparities are wild. If you don't have business there, it should be avoided: http://freedominthe50states.org/overall/california
But who knows, maybe a few of the individual states will loosen up its government grip. I have my doubts but I suppose nothing is impossible.

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.
- Silicon Valley: Including San Francisco, San Jose and most of what's considered the San Francisco Bay Area.
What a bizarre proposition that will never ever happen.
Weird that they refer to the Bay Area as "Silicon Valley". That's some new school visionary crap that will never happen. Anyway, I love the Bay, consider it my home. So I choose that.
Ahh the 6 CA's thing. Because the liberal CEOs in Silicon Valley are tired of being taxed for the social programs that they support
I'm in West Ca right now and I would move down to SD. LA is going to shit with a horrible mayor and horrible traffic and insane taxes and utility rates. SD looks a lot nicer.
