The more you think about it - in the context of the US system
and traditions - the more you see there IS NO "fix".
Reps are chosen from geographical localities - ones they
themselves live in. This makes them actual "representatives".
But the fine nuances of those "localities" can be tweaked
and tweaked again - always with "good reasons". What a
rep should exactly rep ... it's mostly subjective, there
are no hard and fast criteria for "fairness". Don't think
there can be.
Do away with 'districts' ? So then, San Diego should be
"represented" by someone from Alturas - a completely
different physical/social/economic environment ? Sorry,
that's just not a 'rep'.
