Because the New York Times publishes think pieces that are well written and interesting. That doesn't mean that you have to agree with them or not.
As for the article in question it is a think piece by a Singaporean researcher fellow at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy in Singapore. It is not a piece written or commissioned by the New York Times editorial board which are the only opinion pieces that are an expression of the New York Times.
They published it, but it is not their editorial stance.
I know this will come as a shock to some people, but the NYT, like all really good newspapers, gives a forum to a lot of ideas that they find interesting/provocative but don't espouse themselves. That's why I still prefer to get my news from newspapers rather than cable.

Well written? Is it?
Looking at that map in the region that concerns me, the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balcones_Fault is neither plains nor coastal. One only has to go a few miles east of Austin to realize it's a far different place than a few miles west of Austin.
It should be done using a random computer algorithm based on population.
These are "united states," not randomized tyranny based on population. My state isn't like someone else's for good reason.
