This is a very interesting topic that doesn't get as much attention as it should. Most of the time I hear people talking about Gerrymandering it is talked about at the national level, although it is obviously still very prevalent in Cities as well. It really hard to see families pushed out of their homes because companies want to build a business there. I'm also interested in the "other factors" you mentioned that causes these families to relocate from their homes. I definitely realized local gerrymandering this was an issue but I don't think I noticed how big of a problem it is. I've heard that gerrymandering in Texas is one of the worst states. It doesn't seem fair for big companies to be able to bully families out of their homes. I agree the US Government should take action on this nationwide issue and take the following steps to handle the situation correctly. Overall, this was a great article, very informative and interesting. The only thing I wish you touched a bit more is the "other factors" that gerrymandering effects in negative ways.
