Will someone fill me in on what is so horrible about splitting cities?
Wouldn't said city have more influence if it made up 50% of 2 districts instead of 100% of 1?
The point is having districts that are as demographically/culturally homogeneous as possible, so that the representatives that are elected do actually represent a real community as opposed to an incoherent collection of voters with little connection with one another.
Not that I really care about all this, mind you. I hate single-member districts vote anyways.
