Its the united states, there is definitely gerrymandering but not as bad as congresional districts. This is a nationwide problem and if you understand the opposition to gerrymandering it has nothing to do with poor and upper middle class people having the same representative. Its about districts not being geographically contiguous and adding or subtracting tiny sections to keep a district in one camp or another. In a city that is 90% democratic there is much less pressure to create crazy shaped districts vs house districts in a purple state such as PA.
