Article 1 Section 8 of the constitution says a "DISTRICT" can be created. It does not mention the word "state". Then the Residence Act passed which selected the area for the HQ as DC.

I am simplifying it.

A bunch of legalese-sounding reasons that don't come close to justifying the disenfranchisement of 700k people

do you think it's right 710,000 black people are without a state senator to represent their interests?

Puerto Rico and DC...I wonder what the link can be to strident opposition to their respective statehoods

Youre absolutely right with this topic/on DC, but plenty of Puerto Ricans are opposed to statehood.

The federal buildings would remain federal land

the district itself would become the state

If black people were forced to live in DC and banned from living in Wyoming you'd have a pretty good point there
