@ Payton: If you really wanted "One City," you'd advocate for a city council entirely elected at large. That used to be fairly common across the US. These days, it's largely been discarded as a violation of the civil rights of minorities, since the citywide majority are always able to vote its candidates in, leaving minority groups without a seat at the table.

Or you hold proportional elections. I know that's kinda unheard of in the US, but it gives plenty of minority protection, as proven by the splintered parliaments and city councils in Holland and Belgium. I can pretty much it would guarantee a republican and a green seat in DC. Which is why the ~~totalitarian~~democratic party in DC will stop it at all means.

How come no republicans run for wards 2, 3 and 4? They should have a chance if they're moderates.
