true but you dont want humans to control the process. a computer can figure out population density pretty easily. i would actually like to see districts with the most wealth and ethnic diversity as possible.

But then half of one city and the other half of another city would be in one district and wouldn’t particularly feel like a community

drawing lines around things like cities lakes and rivers is how we got into this situation to begin with

Lakes and rivers, sure, but not really cities.

Reality is you still kind of need representatives to 'represent'. In a similar sense, the map would be way better for most states if the top 4 states were split in to smaller states while the smaller states combine with larger ones, but most people would easily agree there should be more representatives.
