State House 194 - limit it to the Lower Northwest
I am a resident of the 194th and believe it will be harmful for this district to expand northward to include Chestnut Hill and, most specifically, to divide Mt. Airy. That is an incongruous decision that is oblivious to the integrity of the Mt. Airy community and creates what would be a very regrettable and confusing division. Instead, it would make perfect sense to expand the 194th district southwards to include more of East Falls and the region that runs along the Schuylkill River. I think the Fair Districts suggested map for this region of Philadelphia is a far preferable solution. If this is not possible, as an alternative solution, the 194th could include Chestnut Hill and end at the border created by Cresheim Creek, but it should definitely not extend into Mt. Airy.. Thank you.
