I might favour specifying a minimum ratio between the area and perimeter of each district using the isoperimetric inequality to combat gerrymandering. And even if that proves ineffective, there are so many other effective algorithms. Of course, as long as people want gerrymandering or are at least willing to turn a blind eye, it will keep happening. And it is a disgusting practice that, political implications aside, also happens to result in spectacularly ugly district shapes. I certainly don't care which party does this; gerrymandering should not be tolerated, period.
