The city of "DC" is not the mayors to do with as she pleases. The land was given to the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT by Virginia & Maryland to be USED AS the CAPITOL of the U.S. It belongs to ALL the citizens of the USA

“The Working Group’s research revealed that more than 70% of assets named in the District of Columbia are named for white men, many of whom were not District residents,” the “DC Faces” report stated.

The retrocession of the District of Columbia refers to both past and proposed acts of returning some or all of the land that had been ceded to the federal government of the United States for the purpose of creating its federal district for the new national capital of the United States, the City of Washington. The land was originally ceded to the federal government by Virginia and Maryland in 1790. After moving through various stages of federal and state approval, the Virginia portion was eventually returned in March 1847. The Maryland portion still constitutes the District of Columbia today, but some have proposed "retro-ceding" it back, in part or in whole, to address issues related to the voting rights of residents of the District of Columbia.
