Blatant attempts to tip the electoral scales aside, what is the case against turning DC into a state?
The entire intent of the formation of Washington DC was to serve as the administrative seat of the federal government.
It was never supposed to be granted statehood, because that would give it to much power.
Additionally, because of this people really weren’t meant to live there, and they shouldn’t.
The only fair option is to cede the residential areas to neighboring states and reestablish the federal zone as an administrative area.
Oh, good, let's introduce them to the hedge fund managers.
