You don’t have to work for the district you live in (though it helps) and not all districts are the same. 700,000 people in Manhattan is going to produce a lot more college graduates with liberal arts degrees (polisci or similar are most typical on the hill) than most other districts.

> It’s 700,000 people in the district

But some districts don't even have that many people!

not quite. there's not really a relationship between the office you work in and where you live. if you can get a spot, you take it.
