San Mateo County Board of Supes District Map

Since there's been some discussion in the previous "Global Warming" post about  whether San Mateo County Supervisors should be elected on a per-district basis vs. a county-wide basis, I thought I'd post a link to the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors District Map.

Personally, I prefer keeping things on a per-district basis, rather than countywide elections.  The complaint I've been hearing regarding district elections is that District 3, which Pacifica is in, stretches all the way down to places like Menlo Park and Atherton, which don't share the same concerns as Pacifica. If districts were drawn in a more rational manner, I believe that would take care of many of the complaints.

Very interesting map, thank you Steve.
It's population-based obviously but the inclusion of Stanford in our district is a little strange.
Supervisors are limited to twelve years in that office and that seems to work fine.
