I can't fault Georgetown for wanting to imitate its more prestigious peers by becoming a primarily residential school with the focus being primarily on on-campus housing.

Georgetown is already a primarily residential school. Using the IPEDS definition of "traditional undergraduate," here's a comparison of GU to some of its peers:

Columbia 94%
Dartmouth 90%
Duke 85%
Notre Dame 80%
Brown 79%
Georgetown 76%
Northwestern 70%
Johns Hopkins 56%
Chicago 55%
Pennsylvania 53%
Cornell 45%

MIT is probably somewhere between 70% and 75%.

The definition GU uses is a bit more restrictive, so the number it gives for current on-campus is 85%. I think GU's definition makes more sense within its context.
