Sure. So the Capitol grounds, white house, supreme Court, etc are federal lands.
Point being in our modern times I have zero fear of a DC Mayor/ruler or whatever putting up a blockade to prevent congress or the court from meeting and if they did they’d simply meet elsewhere. People aren’t walking to these things anymore.
Exactly. The federal area itself would remain as a non-state but very few people live there. You could turn the other 90%+ of the city into a state.
What you fail to see is that having extra representation (2 senators regardless of population) and extra presidential election power (2 more Electoral College votes) is only a good constitutional idea if the small states are republican.

That is closer than many realize.

Jefferson would give Mississippi and West Virginia a run for the money on poverty.
