Is it always bad to split cities? I'm not saying that cities should be split in such a way that diminishes their power maliciously, but it would seem that there are a lot of cases where a city is better off being the plurality in two districts rather than 100% of the population in one district.
The polarized situation in Congress, especially the House, is partially a result of cities not being split. Most of the remaining moderate Republicans live in urban areas where there is no chance of electing a Republican, and moderate Dems in rural areas where the reverse is true.
