Im not sure if you all knew this, but if you are a resident in DC, you're not allowed to own the land that your house is on, even if you own it. I, being a DC resident, have never fully understood why that is, but I know it has something to do with DC being the US capital. What do you guys think?

It's not that simple. Some families have been there for generations upon generations. My grandma's been living in her house in southeast DC for... 60 years? Something like that. I'm sure there are some families who've been living in their houses for much longer.
