DC has a $6B cash reserve and an AAA+ bond rating. What is better managed than that?
And yet people shit on Mayor Bowser. For such a bad Mayor, the DC economy seems to be doing very nicely.

DC, NoVa and the Maryland beltway counties all become one state. The DMV area faces many similar issues (federal workers, transit, economics) and might be better as an entire state on their own instead of tied up with Richmond and Annapolis where the needs of this area get diluted. Rest of Virginia would become Republican and Maryland would probably be more competitive between parties.
NO. DC residents could become Maryland residents and the dc government could be separate the "DC" part. After all, Virginia got its land back but, Maryland never did. But I don't want to belong to a DC metro region state.
IIRC, Maryland doesn't want DC. So retrocession is a nonstarter.
And dc residents don’t want to be part of MD so the whole solution is dumb. Who keeps suggesting this on thread? Virginia residents?
Yep, it's that Virginia racist thing they do b/c their brains cannot comprehend AA governing themselves.
