Recently, I posted a couple districts that make sense to me. In the end, I think the commission has many many different options on how to draw these lines but this is one take. Clearly there are other ways to do this.
The North State has a couple issues. One is that it is tradition to have a 101 District (AD 1), and I-5 District (AD 2) and a 395 District (AD 3). The commission is not required to do this but it would make sense.
The other issue is that Yuba County is a Section 5 County. It is going to remain whole. It would just make sense to keep it together.
So with that I throw out this district for consideration. I started in Modoc, and included the entire counties of Lassen, Plumas, and Sierra. Then I added all of Butte, Yuba,and Sutter. After all of this I was just a few thousand residents short of an Assembly district. So in looking at communities that identified more with Yuba/Sutter I added in the community of Rough & Ready. This community tends to associate more with the Yuba Sutter area than the rest of Nevada County.
