In Reply to: Statehood for DC posted by pictureguy on April 22, 2021 at 10:52:54:
Move the boundaries inward to include the Mall and cafeteria. Let the areas with residents get representation through the proximal state governments of VA and MD.
Or annex the neighborhoods into adjacent suburbs like Bethesda and Alexandria. Most government functions and organizations already exist in the non-DC regions.
