[ofmrusrp] Incentive to build roads when travel centroid

Assume, highly unrealistically, that political districts are determined by minimizing the average travel time to the center of the district.  (Inspired by a rejected idea at http://bdistricting.com/about.html#compact ).

This probably causes perverse incentives in building bridges, changing speed limits, relieving or causing congestion.
