"Can America deal with six Californias? If the pipe dream of Menlo Park venture capitalist Timothy Draper becomes a reality, there will be five extra states along the coast between Oregon and the Mexican border and 10 extra senators voting in Washington." LATimes

As bad as the Central Valley is, it would be a worse state.

I wonder how many people know that there is a town called Weed in California that is about 50 miles south of CA/OR border on Interstate 5.

IIRC, I first heard of Weed reading "Cutter and Bone" re a character named Wasco Weed. Anyone?

The guy behind it is a billionaire who says he's tired of his money going to educate ne'er do wells in other parts of the state. He feels it would do more good spent in his own community, which, of course, doesn't need it.

PS - for any of you who know W. Hollywood history, the above photo is of the relocated Institute at Santa Monica and Spaulding. The original Institute, back in 1973 or so, was between San Vicente and La Cienega. Right around the corner from our place. There were a dozen or so of these joints up and down Santa Monica that took advantage of the vague wording of W. Hollywood ordinances of the time regarding "professional therapeutic services."

Why would you destroy the world's sixth largest economy? The Bay Area and SoCal would be ok but the other 4 states would be really dirt poor. This idiot has so much money he can throw 5 million down the drain. He could have gave it to cancer research or something better.

I knew cuz I used to live near Weed.

A Libertarian for sure, as long as he gets keep his gated mansion in a sea of poverty all is well. "I've got mine, fuck you".

Or the guy might be just fed up with the multitude of gate jumpers in California.

Don't have a practical response to that possibility, nobody seem to so far. One of those things that a really good time machine might help.
