“The District of Columbia has only 26.3% of its land owned by the federal government although it was established as the federal city.”
IRONIC, isn’t it.
Shouldn’t DC be 100% Federally owned? Further, I don’t think there should be ANY “residents” of DC, except the Pres. and his family. Everyone else should be absorbed by Maryland. That’d instantly take care of the whole “taxation without representation” BS I have to listen to on the news all the time.
I agree with you. At least the people who wish to live there should be made to sign a document that says they recognize the fact that they have no vote in federal eclections. If they don't like that, then they are refused residency.
And having a DC City government is illegal. Congress is supposed to run the city. In fact, Congress used to run the place but has abrogated its responsibility. And no thanks to absorbing DC residents into Maryland. Maryland is already doing that in PG County and look what a mess that's becoming.
