@ freely: I as a District resident don't care what they think, and don't want my duly elected officials considering them either.

This is short-sighted.

The government as a whole should be available to all stake-holders. Obviously the stakes of residents are higher than those of non-residents. However, hundreds of thousands of people come in and out of DC every single day. They have a stake in what goes on here. Elected officials should consider their opinion.

I am not saying they should value them equally as residents. But they should consider them. Not doing so leads to a situation where DC behaves as if it's a closed system. It is not.
