San Diego Redistricting - Whither The Ninth District?

From Voice of San Diego, an interesting video providing some background for San Diego's own redistricting, and the addition of a ninth City Council District:

I'm of a mixed mind about adding a City Council District that caters to one particular segment of San Diego. I'm always concerned when a representative is elected, or a District created, primarily to represent one group because the temptation is strong on the part of the representative to work more for that one group than other groups in the same District.

The flip side, however, is that a city government should reflect its population, and Asians are an increasingly important part of San Diego. Moreover, diversity in the city, as well as in its government, makes for a more vibrant, interesting community. So creating a ninth City Council District to effectively represent them is likely a net positive.
