#6 Virginia took back Arlington from DC in the late 1800s. Maryland should take back much of the remains of DC, leaving only the federal triangle - the Mall, the White House, etc. as the district.

#7 Only fly in that ointment is that Maryland doesn't want the place. I adds nothing, and it adds to the crime rate. Prince George's county is presently and extension of the district. Absorbing the District would make it an extension of Prince George's County. Yuck.

Heh. If they were throwing fits about Kansas City, they would love Topeka.

How about the confluence of the Platte and Missouri rivers? Nah, Platte City looks like a nice place. Can we make Death Valley work?

#10 It must be frustrating to have your totally genius plans to create a Brave New World constantly thwarted by a bunch of old dead white guys and their stinky Constitution.
