Just let them keep home rule long enough so that the plaintiff in DC v. Heller doesn’t evaporate prior to the ruling… I’ve been starting to think along very much the same lines.

Re-establish the state boundary lines to where they were before the district was created and have the federal government occupy the current facilities as a sort of condominium, but each part of the city will become part of whichever state wherein it falls. There would be lots of advantages: the absurd possibility of DC statehood would be eliminated, Eleanor Holmes Norton could get a job selling knock-off handbags on the street (or some other occupation for which she is qualified), the new urban areas would actually receive revenue from the government in the form of property taxes, and I’m sure folks can think of other good reasons to make the district go away.
