The Le Corbusier spirit of zoning
It's not Le Corbusier. Zoning in the USA started in the late 1800s, an effort to regulate light and air in cities, and turned by the early 1900s into an effort to keep certain industries and ethnicities out of "good" neighborhoods.

Yes, it's happily becoming less common, but it was and is common for all options in a 401k plan to have high fees, and be set up to benefit the company

And you always have to walk fifteen minutes, just to get to the transit spot.
I know a lot of broke people who live within less than a two minute walk of a bus stop and could not possibly afford a car. You might want to consider how the built environment has dictated your choices.
I am sure this comment will only be seen by me, only through this browser.
hi!
Since your model has led you to an incorrect conclusion, are you going to revise it?
"Is the Second Amendment the Second Most Important?" - "The order of that list, however, still reflects Madison’s view: They come in the same order as the sections of the Constitution that they would have modified."

That would be telling.
As soon as you said this I thought of Peter O. Knight and the Davis Island Yacht Club. I used to watch the planes land as we derigged our dinghies.
Ada Palmer's "On Progress and Historical Change" https://www.exurbe.com/?p=4041
"So when I tell people about this election, and they ask me “Does it always have the same outcome?” the answer is yes and no. Because the Great Forces always push the same way. The strong factions are strong. Money is power. Blood is thicker than promises. Virtue is manipulable. In the end, a bad man will be pope. And he will do bad things. The war is coming, and the land — some land somewhere — will burn. But the details are always different. A Cardinal needs to gather fourteen votes to get the throne, but it’s never the same fourteen votes, so it’s never the same fourteen people who get papal favor, whose agendas are strengthened, whose homelands prosper while their enemies fall. And I have never once seen a pope elected in this simulation who did not owe his victory, not only to those who voted, but to one or more of the humble functionaries, who repeated just the right whisper at just the right moment, and genuinely handed the throne to Monster A instead of Monster B. And from that functionary flow the consequences."
After 50 mins working on something very difficult my mind gets so mucked up.
I am suddenly reminded of my college classes that were 50 mins on the dot, with 10 mins in between as travel time to get to the next class.

The Census counts prisoners according to the "usual residence rule," assigning them to their prison for purpose of location and, of course, redistricting. A prison is a good way to get a lot of bodies to populate a district and ensure they won't vote.
