Unfortunately California isn't really a commission, it's gamed very well by dems. When 538 did this 2ish years ago the R gerrymander in the state was the same as the fair map. https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/redistricting-maps/

"Proportionally partisan" =/= fair. Proportionality isn't and shouldn't be the goal of redistricting.

Fair seat results should be proportional, which is why I think it is almost impossible for any FPTP map to be fair.

I mean, I agree, but applications of FPP should be based on standards that are appropriate to FPP and not based on standards it by nature cannot meet.
