3. Doubling it would make it unweildy

but raising the number to 600 has been suggested and rejected by a House more interested in maximizing bribery takes than representing people.

Multi member districts might be a good idea, but that, plus laws against gerrymandering by the party in power, have to be approved by state legislatures and governors.

That hasn't happened so far and it's not likely to, since those are the folks with the privilege.
