650 seems sensible to me.

I'm okay with any increase. I supported all the increases. Ideally, I'd have one US Rep for every Census District, since these districts are compact and non-partisan and rarely change. This would mean thousands of US Reps, however. That doesn't bother me since I don't think a building should be what restricts the number of US Reps. I think Reps should vote virtually or via proxies to accommodate the voting. Protocol would have to be set up to keep the government running efficiently and to prevent proposals ballooning up and etc. Perhaps every party that has representation in a state will have their lead same-party Rep of that state who will be in charge of scheduling the proposals and which to shelve. They'd also be in charge of determining who will read which bill and who will summarize lengthy bills, etc.

The German Bundestag works fine with over 700 members.

I'd be fine with the Wyoming Rule, which would give us 574 members in the house
