A: Because it is so small in area (1/20th the size of tiny Rhode Island!) that elevation to statehood would create the perception (and maybe the reality) of packing the Senate with one’s preferred party. Making cities into states is a form of gerrymandering. #A2E

People choose to live there. It is not good to have people who are dependent on government voting

Maryland & Virginia represent DC just fine. Tri-state group think.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Requires a constitutional amendment. Amending the constitution requires 2/3rds of states.....broad bipartisan support. This is not something you can force thru via legislative slight of hand
