Maybe my pessimism is that nobody in power has an incentive to make districts that balance geography with fair popular vote representation
And as a side note, I do think census blocks are too small to use when optimizing for compactness
I have a pet theory that transit times are a good start to deriving sensible geographic clusters for redistricting...
I.e. isochrone maps? I vaguely remember seeing something about that w.r.t. Partisan gradients. Cool idea
