It's on D.C.'s license plates!

I thought that was the Super Bowl.

Why not do the same for the part of DC that's north of the Potomac?

Then the residents of DC will be part of a state (MD), with all the rights.

However, the Constitutuion dors not allow us to simply graft parts of Maryland back on to it. Though what may be more workable is a "retrocession for Federal voting purposes", which does not affect MD state politics. That's actually probably our best bet.

DC could have saved them from their present repuke governor.

and make the District of Columbia a state, one with a million residents.

if you look at a map, Arlington almost perfectly completes the diamond, except way down at the southern tip.

DC is about 650,000 now. Arlington over 225,000, Alexandria around 150,00.

The original southern border of the Alexandria section ran roughly parallel to King Street. The newer western part of Alexandria was added on from Fairfax county land back in the 1950's, I think. Before Alexandria city expanded westward, the Alexandria-Arlington border retained the diamond shape of the original District.

would be to deny DC residents two senators; retrocession only gets up when DC starts asking for the same rights that other citizens have (which is why we don't talk about Kentucky or West Virginia retrocession).
