They are. For areas with many teams/events per area (high-density), districts make sense. There are some areas, though, where districts still don't make sense (to me, at least). New York, is one of those areas -- teams are not uniformly distributed throughout the state, and are more or less are clustered into NYC, Long Island, Rochester, Buffalo, or the Capital Region (Albany/Tech Valley).
It will be interesting to see what they end up doing. One of the thoughts that I've had is to take the Capital Region teams and roll them into NE, and the NYC and Long Island Teams into MAR, which actually makes more geographic sense than the entirety of NY state becoming a district (could you imagine the travel times for Buffalo/Rochester teams to go to a DCMP that could be as far as NYC?).
