This really needs to be done, In Commiefornia and here in New York.
But it won't, and it never will.. IMO

Fixed that for you, since I remember when Cuomo told upstate to fix its own pipes -- all the while taxing the fuck out of us.

NYC has enough rooftops to grow their own pot, IF we decide to sell them the water.
Who cares? Let them drink seawater.

I would love to see this happen if I was on the right side of the border. California should be broken up into 3 states. North, South and "Shithole"
I can't remember where I saw it, but many years back there was a study done and they found that NYC could not even sustain itself for 18 months if it were to become its own state. That right there is why the slaves in NY have to work to feed the masters in NYC. That is also why they want us disarmed. This is nothing more than history repeating itself with nothing learned.

Secession groups want to make Upstate NY its own state called 'New Amsterdam'
But besides legal hurdles, some critics have suggested secession wouldn't be financially beneficial for Upstate New Yorkers. The Rochester-based Center for Governmental Research found in 2004 that upstate residents benefit from tax revenue sent to Albany from New York City, and Wall Street alone represents nearly 19 percent of all state revenue.

And upstate tax dollars to keep buying more votes from the "give me free stuff" crowd in the city.

Well, California usually does it first, then New York. Here's hoping!
Seeing as people in New York have been trying to do this for years. Oh and it will never happen in California and it will never happen in New York

I'm not so sure about that. In this context anyway, climate change is a real thing.

so then there will be 2 sanctuary states in 1 ? We, I believe, have a different issue. We are treated as non trusting undesireable surfs who get a crumb while the down state get all the gravy. There are too many rules for US vs Them. The furher has run his mouth and the state coffers into the ground and points the finger at the feds. When the Californians respect border protection and immigrants who are a plus to the Country vs a minus, then I'll listen to their issues
I don't know what's going on in everyone else's neck of the woods but I live in the welfare SSI disability capital of NYS. I spend a lot of time talking with customers and even though I try not to bring up politics liberals just love bashing Trump. First customer of the day Monday morning was on a rant about Trump. Of course he and his wife are both on disability. I can honestly say that I think the ratio of dems and Republicans is close to 50/50 here. I don't care what maps and statistic say, not everyone votes but they can still have certain values and decide to vote at some point. I deal with horse owners who live in the country, many of them are gun owners who have no clue about any gun laws. Everybody just wants to be on the tit, not just NYC people.

60 years ago to be on the "tit" was a social embarrassment and outcast. People on welfare had alot of problems in the neighborhood and moved frequently. It discouraged others

This is already being attempted. Google "New Amsterdam".
