Maybe. Don't one in three live in those 2 cities' metropolitan areas?

There are probably a big bunch of supporters in the Bay area.

This entire exercise is just hissy fit pud pounding, but if it did actually happen we could vacation there with a favorable exchange rate with Cali Dollars or Pesos or whatever. I hope no tax dollars are going toward anything to do with this clusterfuck but I'm confident they are.

22.5 million of the 37.7 million people in CA live in SoCal according to Wiki

There are 7 million people in the Bay Area, and it's almost completely homogeneously liberal. There are parts of southern California that are not. Orange County and San Diego, with it's large military population are less uniformly liberal than LA.

Move the navel bases north, extend the boarder wall to wall in SoCal to Mexico, cede the southern portion to Mexico in exchange for building the wall.

Several problems wrapped up in very few steps.

I agree with you that the Bay Area is liberal...I know it's liberal, I live here in the East Bay.

I was just pointing out that Nor Cal, not counting the Bay Area is out numbered big time.

It's funny and we should encourage it.

How about Social Security? Is everyone in Ca going to write it off?

Let em do it. Sweep in and take it back. Launch the sessionists into Mexico from Arizona because in taking Ca. back we went too far and conquered Baja.

All numbers in 2015 values

Link

Mexicos GDP is around 1.3 trillion,
CA GDP is about 2.45 trillion,
US GDP is about 17 trillion

Taking CA out of the US would put the EU as the largest GDP in the world and maybe setup the Euro to be the worldwide monetary standard replacing the dollar.

IF CA was a country it would be the 6th largest GDP in the world and if you broke out the EU from it's conglomeration of other nations CA would be 5th and almost as big as the UK itself.

You'd more than double the value of Mexico if CA was given to them, peso would go up some depending on CA accepting it as currency.

That brings us to an important point:
California has been invaded. Mexico is slowly taking over California by illegal invaders entering our country. Sure, many in California are willing participants and accepting and even welcoming the invasion.
But... about half the land in California is owned by the federal government.
We don't want to give California to Mexico... we want to repel the invasion!

How much industry would leave Cali if they left?

A lot of big talk but their would be an exodus of people and business out of Cali. How much? who knows, but it would absolutely change.

That is a key question, how much revenue would they lose, or would they by being put into Mexico, I'm not sure the big money will leave, small businesses perhaps, and CA legislators would play hell with Mexico trying to get all their left wing environmental policies in effect in Mexico.

Don't forget the entire US military pulling out of CA. They'd have their National Guard / Air National guard, but that's it.

Washington DC is perpetually angling to be the 51st state. Their problem is that D.C. Was created so no state got the Capital. Those wanting statehood have come up with the idea of having sections remain under federal control. Here's a map
https://statehood.dc.gov/sites...of-Washington-DC.pdf

This no doubt would work with California. All the military, National Forests, National Parks and government property stay with the nation and are tax exempt from California's taxes.

The Calexit morals are dreaming the urban areas will pull the rest of the state. It's about time there's some push back.

A lot of industry and a lot of industrious people are leaving CA now. Many head to Texas or other parts of Free America to escape this communist hellhole. I can only assume that the rate if departure will increase is CA attempts to secede.
