Enlarge the House? I love it

And a lawsuit seeks to compel at least a doubling in the size of the U.S. House of Representatives, to address the huge differences in representation population between different single-member states.

Beyond that constitutional reason, there’s other good reasons, all mentioned in the article — lower the power of incumbency, dilute the power of campaign cash from corporations and more. The only flip side is, this would likely increase the power of “presidentialism,” on the one hand, and of the Senate, on the other.
