#3 Here's a very good question: Why is any part of Washington, D.C., private property? There seems to be no reason to have businesses or residences in the city, except those subcontracting to, and inside government buildings. If the government started a program to mosey inhabitants out of the city, giving them more than fair value for their property, most D.C. crime would end; traffic would be halved; parking could be structured to government employee, government business, and tourism; and there would be lots of space to enlarge or annex government offices *and* public spaces.

"The car was taken, and there was nothing of real value in it. Cars are getting stolen every day."

That attitude is at least part of the problem, dipshit.

And I wouldn't call a police radio and riot gear "nothing of value." But that's just me.

#7 'Moose - I've long proposed that Congress declare the area around the Mall (encompassing Congress, the White House, the gov't buildings, monuments, etc. - probably something in the area of the Potomac to H or K Street and from maybe 2nd St. NE to 23rd St. NW) as "Washington, D.C." and cede the rest of presentday DC back to Maryland. I suppose they'd have to make some provision for Embassy row, but who knows? That's just a detail.

The trick, of course, would be making Maryland take it. It would probably entail LOTS of money. (Though probably no more that we waste on DC now.)

Any owners of private residences left in the new DC would have a choice: sell to the gov't (with some sort of clause in the deed that it couldn't be sold to another private party, only rented at market rates), or continue to live there and SHUT UP about voting. Their choice.

#9 Barbara - I've had the same idea, especially considering the idiots ~~Jesse Jackson~~ who want DC to be a state. Just as Arlington was given back to Virginia in the 1850s, the residential part of DC should be given back to Maryland. Wth regard to embassies IIRC some are in Maryland already.

#10 Think they'll track down the 3:1 police rear end to some street racer's pride & joy?

#11 Spot - If the idiots would read the original documents cedeing land from VA & MD to make DC, they would know that part of the agreement is that DC can't become a state.

Of course the leftist MSM will never report that. And Jesse "Extortion" Jackson doesn't care about agreements, rules, deeds, etc. - he just wants his self-centered way and the hell with everyone else. Jackass.
