Too bad we cannot or have not come up with a way to lay out congressional districts without the politics and gerrymandering. That would be like solving the common cold.

There’s no requirement for House districts in the Constitution. When the country was founded, I believe most states had at-large House members. If your state had 10 House seats, then it would have one statewide election and the top 10 candidates in terms of vote totals would go to Washington.

Multi-member districts with proportional representation would render gerrymandering obsolete.
