Districts is an arbitrary name that means nothing. Should the 71st congressional district not have people, if we renamed your county (a division of an area for administrative purposes) a district should we ban people living there. Most people DC do not work for the government, its a pretty big city. Pretty much every other country in the world has their capital in a city where people live. If your arguing that DC is some artificial city created by the government. Well hate to break it to you many western cities are the former location of forts or places the government arbitrarily decided to put a town. The perfectly square counties of most western states were not decided based on natural cultural boundaries. DC is older than the vast majority of towns west of the Mississippi and most towns west of the Appalachians. I agree personally that DC shouldn't get two senators and instead should be incorporated into Maryland and should just give Maryland another house rep and become slightly deeper blue, because everyone in this country should be able to have representation, but DC having two senators would be a little much. That being said DC has more people in Wyoming or Vermont so maybe why not.
Rome is the administrative area of Italy, London is the administrative area of the UK (and more than DC because the UK isn't a federal system) Pierre is the administrative area of South Dakota, people shouldn't live there.
You live in a post office district, a judicial district, and a congressional district. A district is a word that can be used to describe many things not something inherently different from a country or a state.
Why is DC a district not a state? It has nothing to do with the founders caring if people lived there or voted. It was because of the possibility of a state-federal clash. I.e if Maryland passed a law would it technically be sovereign over the federal government since the federal government presided in that state? Now if you know anything about DC you will know that there is a federal district called the national mall, that is run by the federal government and includes all the federal office buildings. There rest of DC is a largely residential and commercial city like any other that is run by the DC city council and mayor. Hardly anyone lives in the federal district which is the actual administrative area and most live in the city. furthermore three of the neighborhoods in DC predate the city, so people have lived in the DC area prior to there ever being a DC.
What a dumb idea. You want everyone to commute from NOVA.
There shouldn't be a mayor of DC.
I DONT GIVE A FUCK.

The District of Columbia is the administrative area of the country. Nobody should live there.
