That's kind of an interesting analogy, since DC itself is an overwhelmingly Democratic city. They themselves would love to be rid of Republican leadership, who have a strong influence on city policy via Congress. They did not select them; they were sent from elsewhere.
If you offered to blow up the city in order to take out Republican leadership, more than a few would at least be willing to consider that tradeoff.
