Representatives and Senators are servants of the people. They should not be making D.C. their home and have elaborate places of residence all supplied at our expense.
I believe the government should build a government housing facility in D.C. that would house all Representatives and Senators. Everyone gets the same type of housing regardless.
As an aside to the conversation, I believe D.C. was never intended to be a city with citizens but rather a city for the government only and thus it was not allocated any representation as should have been.

With you on the housing.
On the representation - sure. But then make it so that there are NO formal residents in DC, let everybody there always be from another state and can vote in their original state's elections. Last state they or their parents lived in before DC. And have no state be allowed to deny voting of DC temporary residents. We shouldn't have partial citizens, whether it be 2/3rds or otherwise.

I have a some Federal facilities in mind that would be perfect for housing congresscritters...

People who live in DC do so knowing that since 1790 it was designed to be our capital, and per the Constitution it has no representation in Congress. That doesn’t make them 2/3rds citizens.
The idiot people who move near airports and complain about the noise are similarly moronic.

The basis for Leftist though like nudnik's is a combination of being uniformed, believing that Utopia is possible and wanted, and not holding people accountable for their own actions. That and Dishonesty combined with Hypocrisy which is just another form of dishonesty. That is why I choose not to be around them if I can help it. They lack CHARACTER.

You think a Safeway cashier working and living in DC being able to vote for her representation accounts to being a socialist utopia?

That seems like an interesting reference, but I don't know what that refers to.

It's as non sequitur as your post.

Touché, but my only other post on this thread was about D.C. resident's right of representation, hence my confusion about the utopia statement.

Plenty of military barracks around DC. 2 to a room; 1 Dem, 1 Repub. Shared head for 2 rooms.
