[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC should become part of MD. Just do it and be done with the arguing.[/quote]

Makes sense for DC to become a part of VA or MD.  Right now DC bears unfair share of homeless and mental health costs from these two and other states.  DC inside a state would give DC more options to deal with these and other similar chronic problems.

As a part of retrocession into MD or VA annexation, DC should negotiate that it would keep the vast majority of funds its taxpayers generate, among other concessions.

How about DC + Northern VA become a state?[/quote]

I like this idea.  I would rather DC become part of VA rather than MD because liberal northern Virginia would welcome the extra voters to keep VA purple-- maybe even turn VA blue.

MD is solid blue and will be for the foreseeable future. Demo leaders in Annapolis and Baltimore don't want DC taking over their roles in Annapolis.

But Alexandria and Arlington would welcome DC's votes to bolster their own in Richmond.  [/quote]
