Not a fan. I've seen legislators past and present comment that the recent inability of the two sides to get along is due, at least in part, to the fact that they don't interact socially. Whereas in the past most of them lived in DC and would go out together socially after the business of the day was done, now many return to their home districts at any opportunity and as a result don't have the bias towards cooperation/empathy that you'd have with people you count as friends. If anything, I'd like to see the opposite shift, where legislators are required to be in DC and maybe, just maybe, sit down with each other over beers and get something done. Right now the biggest problem isn't a lack of connection to constituents, it's an inability to work with colleagues.
