Thanks for commenting, Peter.

How does splitting Grand Rapids violate the Apol standards? Strict population equality requires that there be breaks somewhere. Right now, Solon Twp in Kent is split. I don't see why it is better to split a township than split a city.
The populations are as close as I could make them using the tools available. The boundaries could be tweaked to make the populations exact, but the outline of the map is what I consider important.
Bonior's old district and my proposed district are indeed similar. Mine trades Roseville, Eastpointe, Mount Clemens area (D) for Sterling Heights (lean R). Bonior's district was never all that democratic, and seems to have gotten more Republican since then. Bonior held it due to incumbency, but only narrowly held off some less than top-tier challengers.
