Something easier to do: reduce the borders of DC to just the section where the federal buildings are. Take the slums in the north and east and cede them back to Maryland. Have DC proper be a gated community, where if you do not work for the federal government, then you have to move out

It is indeed heartwarming that you should come to that conclusion. Not to disparage your solution; but, it might be much more economical if one were to engage a fleet of Caterpillar D9's and simply push the whole damn cesspool into the Potomac River.
