My point was that of the US Government was no longer in DC there would be less
traffic. Additionally, if the seat of the Federal Government were no longer
there then Constitutionally it should be returned to the states that it was
annexed from.
Now I am not totally decided that the federal government should be relocated to
Idaho, any rural state that has a cold climate that people would not want to go
to.
Maybe after some of the prairie provinces decide  to join the US this could be
part of the deal.
