[quote=Anonymous]As a practical matter, creating a moderately-large seat of government without voting rights was a bad idea. I realize DC grew larger than originally expected, but Georgetown and Alexandria already existed at the time DC was established. It should have been clear it was a bad idea to include those areas in DC. Had this problem been rectified earlier, retrocession back to Maryland would have been the clearly sensible choice. But there's over 200 years separating DC from Maryland- it doesn't make sense to force them back together now.[/quote]
