Oh sure straight coast vs inland no contest until we cut off you moochers from all that sweet sweet water supply... oh wait I'm a coastal elite too shit. But I'm talking more like parts of coast vs rest. It's kind funny how fast quickly things change getting away from the mega cities even staying on the coast.
That said there is always the possibility of option 3 where we just say fuck it and go on our own. Borrowing from Revolution shall call it the the California Commonwealth and take the whole coast... and get Baja too since it already has California in the name
