I'm having a hard time getting worked up on behalf of affluent individuals people who feel "forced" to move because they don't like their new neighbors.

I can't help but wonder if this sentiment is common.

When I see Georgetown, I see the urbanist paradise that Duany, Speck and Kunstler see. That's why I and thousands of Georgetowners live here and not in McLean or Potomac.

Do all of the critics in this thread disagree with Duany, Speck and Kunstler that Georgetown embodies the goals of urbanism precisely because it sustains a multi-generational community that organically gave rise to its housing stock?

If so, I would ask what urbanism means to you, lest you fall into the trap of only applying urbanist ideas in cases where they are advantageous for young people.
