That's certainly possible, but it's probably better than the alternative.

I'm in Utah, and we passed an initiative where an independent commission proposes maps for the state legislature, and the legislature ignored all of them and passed one where every district includes a part of SLC to fracture the liberal vote. So now all four representatives could live within a mile or so of each other.

Yeah is something like 65/35 Rep/Dem, yet no district is feasible to win by a Democrat.
