There are three Californias. Because of this, California has become ungovernable. The time has come for one of two things to happen: (1) Divide California into three states, but logically, not with just horizontal lines; or (2) Have the United States release California to become a separate nation divided into provinces by its own constitution.
The recent economic panic (a term preferred to trying to distinguish between a recession and a depression) appears not to have created significant differences in the relative economies between the three proposed states. Using employment data, for instance, Northern California generally has a higher unemployment rate than the other two.
