What To Do With The District Of Columbia?

 I spent 3.5 years living in the DC area, and walked around a good portion of it (the safe and unsafe areas).  So as Trump is discussing a change....just my ideas:

1.  Take the whole SE corner (south/east of the river) and call up Maryland....telling them to 'make-a-deal'.  Hand it over....yes, the ballpark, and Joint-Base.  

2.  Repeat the same with the NW corner (the upper one-third of DC)....the Georgetown area.

3.  Put the remaining part under a partnership.....a commissioner for security and a mayor/4-person council   under the remaining pieces.  Put the commissioner under a 3-year contract...to be renewed one single time....nominated by the President and approved only by the House (not the Senate).

4.   Establish one federal judge for the remainder...same deal....one single 3-year period, and renewed one single time.  If you committed a crime in DC....you would only appear in this court.

5.  Finally, juveniles noted for crime.....are not given any 'free-passes'.
