Donald Trump's involvement in the nation's capital has highlighted some unfinished business in the U.S. federal government: home rule. Washington, D.C. was established by the Founding Fathers as a federal district free from state attachment. Yet, there exists long debate over home rule, including Congress’s failure to create a governing body for the city prior to 1973. In this episode, Stephen examines the effectiveness of home rule, the changes playing out amongst long-neglected issues, and what it would take to make D.C. one of the greatest cities in the world.
