I sympathize with Greg, and if the surveyors and computational mappers ruled the world, the real world we seek to model will be simpler.

Where does that happen? down where a county is called a parish and is region within sound of a steeple? NYC inverts normal, iirc NYC is effectively a federation of city-counties called boroughs, but no county line crosses NYC boundary, right? When Boston adsorbed towns in adjacent counties, Suffolk county gained land too -- and likewise Boston and Suffolk released towns in the harbor to a non-adjacent (on land) coastal county. (as a result, Norfolk Co Mass is reputedly the only tripartite noncontiguous county separated by towns in other counties not by water ) If State and National electoral districts are included, the gerrymander boundary will assuredly cross, not follow, admin boundaries higher than Ward & Precinct, which may be redrawn to convenience the gerrymander. -- Bill n1...@arrl.net bill.n1...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
