@AlexB; you're evading the issue by bringing up colonial land grants and federal funding.

When the feds built DCA and IAD, they were acting directly. They just happened to use a subdisicary called the district of Columbia. Moving towards home rule changed all that.

Now, I hate counterfactuals as much as the next guy, but the issue at hand is what sort of governance is best going forward. MWAA has shown itself to be a poor steward for air travel. It has proven to a far worse steward for the Silver Line. Going forward, progressive opinion should be to remove as much power from MWAA and devolve the aiports and DTR owernship to the more logical owner: Virginia. They have the most people and the most at stake for the future.

I mean, you DC people can go ride a bike to NYC or something.
