All the arguments you have given are those to make the case that
DC should have representation.  Your comparison with NYC says that
DC doesn't have representation, but NYC does.  No one is disputing
that.  However, where does it follow that the only way to give DC
representation is to make them an independant state???  I'm sure
other cities would like the same privilege.
