      Arthur Chu Retweeted Keith Edwards

      To try to address this a little seriously -- they never intended people to actually live in DC long-term in large numbers But they didn't intend for freedmen to come flooding into the city from throughout the Middle South to escape Jim Crow laws after the abolition of slaveryhttps://twitter.com/keithedwards/status/1385261460570390529 …

      Arthur Chu added,

      Keith Edwards @keithedwards
      “The founders never intended DC to be a state.” Ok, but they never intended women to vote either, and we figured that one out.

      You all know this is a racial thing, right? And not a subtle racial thing, at all Washington DC was nicknamed "the Chocolate City", Mayor Walter Washington was the first Black mayor of a major US city

      They want you to think that this is about not giving representation to privileged White House and Congressional staffers because they want you to think about the gentrification in NW DC and not the entire rest of the city

      Come on, the vast majority of those rich staffers and contractors and whatnot live across the river in Arlington It's a whole thing Everyone who's actually been to the DC area knows this (it's why they make such a big deal about "from DC" vs "from the DC area")

          The founders also didn't foresee a world where the immediate proximity of the capital was considerably less impactful in terms of political influence than mastery of capital and largely lightly-populated land.

          Well, Hamilton definitely did call the first part of that, and additionally saw that having political busybodies in the commercial capital would be bad for business, but as usual none of the other Founders really tracked what he was up to until after they could do much about it.

          That's totally not true. Many of them live in Alexandria, Frederick, Silver Spring, and Bethesda, too.
