I would not support statehood for DC. The constitution is clear that a state cannot be made from within the borders of another or others. The land was given by maryland and virginia for the use of the central, Federal government. If representation is the problem, add the residents to the census of the original states and call it a day. Everyone on this side of the river goes to the maryland districts, the other goes to Virginia. Draw the voting district lines based on population, just as they are done now.
Why is it so difficult to leave the land as "D.C." and give the populace representation through the existing states.
