Richard,

I understand your point just fine - except I think the Georgetown neighborhood would oppose that exact kind of plan (GU buying up rowhouses and renting them out to students) on a larger scale than they do now.

I don't deny that there's a conflict, but I can't take the neioghborhood's side in any resolution because I think their positions are completely unreasonable.

I would also note that there was plenty of town-gown tension in Ann Arbor when I was there, but it focused on student behavior and how to address it. Here, Georgetown residents don't seem to try that approach, instead making ridiculous demands that all students live on campus and things like that.
