This is a good map in terms of following natural boundaries between neighborhoods. It’s one of the ones I thought was best when I looked through all 50+ 2 weeks ago. I particularly like that the freeway is the boundary between district 1 and 2, and that the boundaries between 3 and 4 following well-known streets. you could do a lot worse than to use this map. I guess you can’t avoid pairing two of the districts with the Mayor’s election without giving the Mayor either a 2 year term (that the voters voted not to have recently) or giving the Mayor a six year term. I guess two of the districts will be paired with the Mayor and 2 will never be…..
It seems most logical to divide up the city based on natural boundaries as opposed to demographics. The natural boundaries are fixed, but demographics fluctuate. I also believe that it is more important to make the boundary decision based on a long-term vision rather than satisfying short-term short-sighted accommodations for current council members reelection desires. While I like all the council members, their reelection goals should not be a consideration in selecting the boundaries.

It is better to have Hollister village in district 4 rather than be the odd ball on this map
N Los Carneros could be the boundary b/w 1&3 vs Glenn Annie, and the Hollister Village could be in 4 with some of 4’s south-East area moved into 2.
Interesting. Don’t have enough demographic information to figure anything out but from a geography standpoint seems close enough.
