> [@Evil\_Economist](#): > > **HurricaneDikta** , I fully admit that I could just be misreading you. Do you happen to have a link of you elsewhere supporting a community seceding from a larger (same-race!) community? If so I’ll admit that I got your motivations wrong. That’s an interesting challenge. I don’t know if I’ve ever posted on such a specific topic.

I doubt the [US.gov](http://US.gov) would go to war to stop it if it were supported by a majority of the population, but if they did, I’d fight back. > [@Is secession still worth opposing with armed force today?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/is-secession-still-worth-opposing-with-armed-force-today/715773/62): > > Is the “we” here California or the rest of the states?

If California wants to leave, I say, “don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out”. Also, you might find this post interesting given the discussion around the tax base: > [@Cities w/o suburbs: Every metro area in America should have consolidated metro government](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/cities-w-o-suburbs-every-metro-area-in-america-should-have-consolidated-metro-government/665395/25): > > > [@Cities w/o suburbs: Every metro area in America should have consolidated metro government](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/cities-w-o-suburbs-every-metro-area-in-america-should-have-consolidated-metro-government/665395/5): > > > > Let the consolidated-metro State of Chicagoland deal with all the urban and suburban and exurban problems of that metro area; and let the government of the remainder of Illinois deal with its small-city and small-town and rural problems, no longer using Chicago’s tax base, and no longer spending money or worry on Chicago’s problems either. > > There are some people in Colorado that like that idea: [Northern Colorado Secession: Most In Favor Of 51st State At First Public Meeting](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/07/26/most-in-favor-of-51st-sta_n_3658977.html) … --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/utah-county-wants-to-split/829292)._
