I so agree with you.

We should segment DC into 57 sections and assign
each proportional populations to the state they
are assigned to for representation. New York gets
some to represent, California get some, Wyoming,
Florida, Georgia, and all the rest of the 57 states
get their fair share of the DC population to represent.

How’z that?

A number of people in DC have been pushing for years for statehood. Others have recommended becoming part of Maryland except for a small Federal enclave where most of the government buildings are and almost nobody actually lives. I think the later makes more sense if the people of DC ever hope to actually get a vote, since Congress doesn’t seem to want to approve the balanced entry of a new Utah (conservative) district with DC’s entry. They have tried to introduce riders regarding guns that anger the liberals and ones concerning marijuana that irk the conservatives. Meanwhile “taxation without representation”
continues.
