Gerrymandering is a danger to democracy and it is great that researchers shine light on the different trade-offs of districting criteria.

This website seems like a great demonstration of the fairness and competitiveness trade-offs.

I'd argue that every voting system that has gerrymandering as a possibly error mode is inherently dangerous. No amount of antimandering could ever be more than a temporal band-aid. There are many examples that successfully combine local representation with proportional outcome.
