Love it.

I think our congressional districts are numbered to allow for
gerrymandering. I mean, our 9th district here would have a name like
Evanston-Skokie-Edgewater-Uptown-Lake View-Lincolnwood-Des
Plaines-Mount Prospect-Arlington Heights. And the next redistricting
could change more than half of those localities. Can't even name it
"North Shore" because it reaches way west in a U shape and down a
narrow leg to pick up our part of Chicago in addition to the rather
posh but not ultra-posh North Shore burbs. So the neighborhood just
west of us is not in our district, but Arlington Heights, which takes
two hours to get to via public transport, is in our district.
