I told you Californians loved attention! I picked 6 Californias because I thought it was the nicest way to divide up the state into equally sized shapes with some reference to political boundaries. I also "detest" the politics of breaking up California but I like the geospatial organization.
I don't have an opinion where a north south line would go. That being said, (I think i'm repeating myself in a slightly different way i'm sorry for that) alternatively would you consider adding a few of the most populous regions and cities to the sub of California like you do for Germany? Just as you have an extract for Brandenberg (mit Berlin) as well as Berlin, could you do the San Francisco Bay area as well as San Francisco? To make it easy, perhaps just use similar boundaries that existed for Metro Extracts - https://github.com/mapzen/metro-extracts/blob/master/cities.json namely: - san-francisco-bay_california - san-francisco_california - san-jose_california - los-angeles_california - san-diego_california There must have been a demand for those regions to be added to that list and I think the vast majority of analyses would take place at these levels.
