[quote=Anonymous]Let DC become a state - there's really no good reason not to let a full-blown city become a state.

But move the Federal District to Fort Leonard Wood Missouri, near the population center of the country, and build an intentional community there with no "permanent" residents, only people who maintain legal residency somewhere else.

Keep distributing most of the federal workforce around the country for remote work, rather than the beltway bubble. Keep executive staff only in the Federal District.

Expand the House of Representatives to 1,000.  By diluting the Senate votes, this solves the Electoral College problem, for all practical purposes.

Build a massive new Capital for this House.

Build a national university, a national orchestra house,  and move the smithsonian institute as well.

Pay for the operation of this intentional city with land rents. Let private owners build out restaurants, apartments, etc.

Make it car free, but with people movers, trams, and metro service. Operate a national airline out of TBN with twice weekly flights to every state capital and every major city, and daily flights to ATL, LAX, ORD, DFW, SEA, DEN, JFK[/quote]
