@Ken: I know everyone has their own definition of urbanism, and that's fine, but yours seems to be, "Freeze Georgetown in a way that satisfies the "multi-generational community" that has lived there for decades, and use zoning and other laws to make sure the demographics don't change. Ever." Also, you seem to object to the higher density that student-occupied housing brings to the area.

I really don't see this as a debate on urbainsm at all. Instead, I (and apparently many others) see it as another case of old money looking out for themselves and trying to preserve their own lifestyle and neighborhood. Which is fine - just admit it, and own it. This lame attempt to
stake a claim to the moral high ground on behalf of all the poor, oppressed Georgetown residents doesn't pass the smell test.
