The Elephant In The Corner

In 1978, when I was a candidate running for the San Jose City Council, I supported districting. At that time, San Jose had 7 councilmembers, including the mayor, all elected at large. I became the last councilmember to be elected city wide. Therefore, I think that I am qualified to question whether or not districting has been good for San Jose and whether or not it has outlived its usefulness. I think the time when the scant support of 2000-3000 people can elect a district councilmember from a district has passed.
