[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well DC pays the most per child for schools, so you can't ask for  better than that.[b] How does DC compare to other cities? I think it's an unfair comparison since DC is just a city and states have a variety of city, suburban, and rural areas.[/b][/quote]

+1000.  Please compare DC to other cities.  Use your brain people--don't be sheep.[/quote]

Dc is not a city. (But I understand your point.)

What is it?  A small town of 650,000 people?  [/quote]

Federal district. It's no more a city than it is a state -- i.e., it's neither. Granted, it has more in common with a city, but it has more people than some states and far more than most U.S. territories.

So what's your point?  Are you a statehood advocate?  I live in DC, and for me, and all of my fellow Washingtonians, it's a city. A city with no real power. I know Congress would LIKE for DC to be only the environs of Capitol Hill, the Mall, and the White House, but it's not.   There are all of us pesky Washingtonians to deal with.[/quote]
