because before fedex, DS tried to do exactly that, but the DC politicians were such a PitA to deal with that he decided that maryland was a better option. we almost lost the nats because the DC council couldn't get out of it's own way, even with the mayor begging and pleading 24/7 to try and get it done.
anyways, for anyone that doesn't know, national harbor would be a terrible idea. they don't have enough roads going there to being with, and anyone coming from VA would have to go through basically the worst part (traffic wise) of VA, which is the alexandria local lanes.
for public transportation, they'd do a bus line from a metro stop, that's been done before, and it's not very expensive, but it would be incredibly slow.
