You could spend a lot of time talking about how it would be great to have a metropolitan government. But let's not start there. So I think what we need to do is identify some specific problems on which there is consensus that something needs to be done. It's probably something that could be talked about and shared across lines. Dirty air flows across, and we need to work very hard on that.
Sewage flows across.
Cleaning up the Anacostia is a multi- jurisdictional problem, and we need to do that. Examples of things that we all know need to be done that are cross-jurisdictional, what we could actually do and say, Hey, we did that, we know we can work together, let's move on to the next one. We have had a lot of discussion about jobs, and clearly the focus must be there and on affordable housing. But as we look at those kinds of functional areas in which we need to cooperate, that's sort of one conversation. That is not going to happen if we focus one by one on transportation, affordable housing, jobs, schools.
