Many locals in Washinton DC have been pining for statehood for some time- Im not qute sure why it isnt a state-
Any people here from Washington DC who could shed light on why Washington DC should- or shouldnt be granted statehood?

It was made separate for a reason. so the US government would not be subject to any state or state laws

you're incorrect. Washington replaced into designed with the help of L'Enfant, a French architect, and mason, and pal of George Washington. The occupation got here first, the mason 2d. the city replaced into designed to be a sq. spanning each part of the Potomac, yet Virginia took back it truly is land Made with the help of structure workers. surely 14 US Presidents were masons. 14 out of 40 4 isn't overwhelming majority

No. Should we make New York City it's own state? D.C. is basically a city. Not enough land mass to be a state IMO.
Look at a map and you'll see it is basically just a city.
