VAP is 48% white, 33% Asian, 14% Hispanic. I based the district around Cupertino and Sunnyvale and tried to avoid a large concentration of any one group that might have a primary challenge. It's rather easy to draw a map in the suburban Bay Area, since every place votes the same. The district is rather affluent, but I think I found a good balance between the rich areas near the hills (Cupertino, Saratoga, etc.) and the less rich areas in the valley. If I wanted I could probably benefit by extending the district out to Palo Alto and its rich people and college students, but because of the political homogeneity I didn't really see the need.
Since I live in the same general area, I approve of this district, except that I would get rid of the Saratoga/Los Gatos part of the district and extend it up to Palo Alto. I like political homogeneity.
