Well, with DC's current population, there are not really enough people for it to be a state. The idea of having a separate district is a good one. Perhaps extending DC (that would probably be unpopular) so that there are enough people for a state? I don't think it would hurt to at least give DC a representative.
Actually DC is more populated than Wyoming and it isn't really that much smaller than Alaska, Vermont, and North Dakota.
I'm going to try to avoid delving any further into this discussion as I've already made my opinion known earlier in this topic.
Well, according to census estimates, I believe the population of DC is shrinking. I think it could be a state if the surrounding counties in MD and VA were included. That seems like a good proposal, and most people would support it because those who live in the suburbs of DC feel closer connected to DC than Virginia or Maryland.
