This would be fantastic, I HATE the current way the wards are drawn. Many north side lakefront wards look like what they should. Centralized wards based around neighborhoods.

I moved away from there and now I'm in a ward that's really just a small tail that hangs far away from the rest of the ward. As it stands I don't feel like I'm in a ward, I'm just forgotten on the side.

Wards should have no more than 6-8 straight lines in their boundries. Make it quick and simple.
