Sure, but the rest of the country with voting representatives in Congress would rather disenfranchise D.C. residents than pay Virginia and Maryland to take on the extra population and the census count, representation, etc., that comes with them.
This strikes me as a very truthy claim. I'd expect the vast majority of people to be utterly indifferent to paying Virginia or Maryland to absorb parts of DC. They might say otherwise in a poll, but they'd act like it never happened when they next voted.
