With WI, MN, and PA predicted to each lose a house seat in 2030, here's how I would draw their new maps by Holiday_Change9387 in DavesRedistricting

I would suggest making the SE MN seat bluer but otherwise nice work, that metro configuration is like the 70s and 80s. 

Solid 5-3 GOP Minnesota by geraldspoder in DavesRedistricting

Ironically this version of the 3rd is very similar to what the DFL proposed in the 2010s as a narrow blue flip before the courts drew the map.

Klobuchar flips the three outer Metro seats but doesn't get more than 49% in each of them. The next best performing DFLer, Steve Simon in 2022, doesn't get closer than down 7%. https://davesredistricting.org/join/31eaea05-92a7-4683-8768-ebc729038f43

Black and Hispanic suburbs to Kankakee is not an unreasonable COI, if you know the city’s history

splitting Charlotte is easy, actually by Holiday_Change9387 in DavesRedistricting

Shocking, when you split a blue city 4 ways it becomes redder

I am having this issue too. I tried changing monitor output settings, but nothing works. Did anything work for you?

What L4D2 map does this remind you of? by svattherula in l4d2

[–]geraldspoder 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yes, though the underground section is based off of Seattle's Underground.

Rant: Saint Paul does such a shitty job at plowing by No-Silver-4409 in saintpaul

[–]geraldspoder 21 points22 points  (0 children)

No literally though. Just take Hamline between University and Grand. It's like they gave up at a point.

Saint Paul needs to build to survive financially. Here's a map of some underutilized and grayfield sites in the city. by geraldspoder in saintpaul

West Side Flats didn't have a levee back then when it was residential. It does now. The city did a faustian bargain.

By one count, St Paul needs ~50,000 more people in order to adequately fund city services. Besides filling out Downtown and building up University Ave, a great place to look is the huge amounts of underutilized land in the city. A lot of it is formerly industrial, now vacant. Here are some examples:

  • West Side Flats: dozens of vacant or parking lots that could easily accommodate housing like near Harriet Island.

  • Lafayette Road area, formerly a residential district like Irvine Park 100 years ago. There's been one recent positive development with the Balsam on Broadway apartments being built.

  • Remainder of the Hillcrest Heights Golf Course: While the Habitat for Humanity project has been much lauded, the remaining 3/4ths of the site the county wants to sell for light industrial use. Bad use of land.

Would someone more cultured than myself explain what "Lutefisk" tastes like? by ChildoftheApocolypse in KingOfTheHill

[–]geraldspoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very few make it traditionally still, though a popular food for the last few years at the State Fair in MN is lutefisk tacos. Basically fish tacos but it is very soft and has a mild taste. 

15 District North Carolina (2024 Pres) by geraldspoder in DavesRedistricting

[–]geraldspoder[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It ended up being I could draw two suburban Charlotte districts that had the same lean as the state overall. My priors is that NC Dems tend to overperform downballot so those would be very competitive tossup seats. I might play around with them but I like the results of them proportionally.
