more districts, smooths out gerrymandering shennanigans, turns the congress more 'parlimentry' instead of washing out so many 'minority' votes
The representative to population ratio should be 1:1 on almost every issue
for a state like california, that's basically what they have on the propositions
and that's amost 40million people
Sure, and I agree on that front, but if you have more people it will still create more gridlock.
You can't increase the amount too much
how is that even the case when a large state like california with 40million already does it
Well california isn't doing particularly well right now so they aren't exactly a shining example
California is doing great and carries much of the US on its back
it's the world's 6th or 7th largest economy, the proposition system is great, high income but low property taxes, it gets bills that the population wants out faster than almost any state despite its size
it's hamstrung by the federal situation because it has to harmonize with 'conservatives'
it's a major net-tax loser, the worst by gross, and upper third by relative measure
California is also having millions leave the state and has major problems with it's cities
millions leave, millions come, it can't grow forever other states also have industries that are competitive for jobs and population
yea what major problem does san diego have
i lived there 13 years
major problem with california cities is they are too popular, so they are crowded as fuck
and also have major city management problems
San Diego for instance is one of the areas with a large population of homeless people
@Sh0t the House ratio, is based on population
I just got back
the apportionment is
san diego has lots of homeless because it's a very homeless friendly city, the weather is good to live outdoors
i went from san diego to west palm florida, same problem
San Diego gay
you can be from anywhere in the us and end up homeless in san diego, since we dont have intra-national border control
The homeless population there has lead to a large poo clean up problem too
which is remarkable honestly
that's in san fran, which is a much more concentrated city
No it's also in San Diego
Pretty sure, it might be another poo related problem though instead of lurking on the streets
San Diego lets peolpe live in their cars and the water system doesn't 'run' fast, so it backs up adn you get issues with that
Like the recent hep c issue they had 2 years ago
we had something similar in 06
The river poo problem was from 2017 though so that could be cleaned up now, can't say
The street shit stuff in San Fran is fucking nuts though, that's just extremely poor city management to have a sanitation problem like that of that scale
jesus
the urbanity is low-ish, but San Diego is easily one of the best cities on planet earth
San Fran too
there is a reason why they are popular
