This particular split does not reflect which parts are at odds with each other. It lumps San Francisco and Sacramento with the State of Jefferson counties.

I don't know a lot about the situation, but I think I've heard that the different areas are often at odds politically.
Wouldn't it make sense to let them go their own way?
