It is time to reduce the District of Columbia down to a six block area make it a historical park

There are many people who believe that District of Columbia statehood is the answer.  When they create Washington, DC it was not suppose to be a city around the capitol.  District of Columbia was create in 1799 so the capitol would not be put in a state back at that time until 1800 when the capitol moved it was in New York City from 1789-1800.  It was originally in Philadelphia from September 1787-March of 1789. Instead District of Columbia needs to be part of Maryland.  It can be a consolidated county called Washington-Columbia County, Maryland.  This also would give Maryland two congressman and give Washington access to two senators now this city will probably get its own congressman or have two congressman instead of a delegate who has no power.  Why have a state of 800,000 have only 3 electoral vote when you can increase Maryland from 10 electoral votes to 12 and we could give an electoral vote to a state that lost one in the last census.  This would be a better approach then DC statehood.  Plus GOP would not have control of it anyway.  The capitol would be in neutral ground.
