Small Scale, Yes

 But singlehandedly ratioing a fool is worth every wasted second.

Why 3?

Nowadays, having 3 kids is a lot, but some people have far more--most couples have one or two.  If you want to have a large family, 3 is a pretty natural stopping point:

Homes with 4 bedrooms* are not the most common, but they're common enough that they're not hard to find.  Once you get above 4 bedrooms, those are rare.

Most cars seat 5 people.  Minivans and SUVs that hold more than 5 are available, but owning two of them means that every commute is done with a low mileage vehicle and every two-car garage will feel tight.

*Our oldest, who is closing in on her Ph.D. once asked us, when she was very young, if we were poor.  I replied that we were fairly well-off, though not rich and asked why she thought we might be poor.  She answered, "How come you and mommy have to share a bedroom"?

The expanded view.

The Proposed Congressional Map of Louisiana.

 This is what a gerrymander looks like:  

The 6th is a long thin diagonal line, which also distorts the 4th and the 5th. The 4th has two big parts and then a narrow isthmus that wraps around the top of the 6th. The 5th is the same, with a narrow part where Alabama juts into the western border of Louisiana between the two large parts of the 5th.
