I assume you're question is for priusron. If the land came with the people who voted to leave I wouldn't want it back at all.Flightmare wrote:And why would you want to split it up, potentially giving them MORE votes in the senate and electoral college?jmra wrote:If the fire sale includes the people why would you want it back?priusron wrote:They are already bankrupt. They will loose a lot of federal money. They won't be able to pay for all the illegals health care, food stamps, section 8 housing etc. Then when they have another earthquake they will want a lot of federal aid. After a few years the US will be able to buy the state a fire sale prices and piece it up.

Re: Calexit
If this were ever to happen I suspect that the population would change drastically. Many with ties to other parts of the US (both family and business) would move out of necessity. Others would move out of security concerns and others would move out of loyalty to the union.
If the vote to secede was just over 50% then I would predict that either a 1/3 of the population could migrate to the US or, more probable IMO, resistance (through both civil protest and armed militia) could result in N. CA splitting off on it's on or deciding to remain part of the US. Either way, S. CA would see a massive influx of immigrants from Mexico if not an outright invasion.
The biggest issue however would be figuring out how to separate their economy from the national economy. The film industry in CA would collapse overnight. Once all those liberal movie stars realized how small the market for foreign films is in the US they would all catch the next "international" flight to the East coast.
Businesses with a national customer base would also abandon CA. In just a few short years gangs would be running the larger cities making the Mexican drug cartel look like child's play.
Of course when some one with a few brain cells actually sits down and looks at the financial ramifications this proposal will be DOA.

Re: Calexit
The only problem I have with it is they would probably quickly align themselves with our enemies bringing threats even closer on another land border.
