If i remember right, the District of Columbia was going to be larger, but it was felt that it was way to much space for a capitol, and they gave half back to Virginia. Now that area has become massively taken over by government buildings and housing for those working in the district.

My second or third cousins live there, and have lived there for generations. They have their own little business (construction) and are starting to talk about having to move out of the home that's been in their part of the family for over a hundred years because of taxes.

I've always felt that having the executive branch in one city, legislative branch in another and judicial in yet another is a good idea. so much harder to decapitate the government.
