The gtown vs. resident war has been going on for decades. It won’t end. Gtown needs to understand that (1) they only need to make a genuine effort to work with their neighbors and (2) no matter what the school says, the residents will be dead set against it. In the larger scheme or things, the residents are their own undoing because they let crazy people speak for them.

I’m actually okay with the the “big bad University” running over whatever other Georgetown residents feel is in the best interest of “their” community. In the long run, these Georgetown students are going to do about 3308320846% more for the world than y’all, who seem to have nothing better to do than complain about Georgetown students. Where did y’all go to school–Cornell? Penn? Too bad you didn’t get in to Vanderbilt or Penn State Honors program. While you’re busy hating on social justice, those kids will be out achieving real equity. I may have stumbled upon this blog by accident, but at least my head isn’t in my own ass.

Because the University hasn’t listened to the community at all, completely ignored their suggestions, and done whatever they want, right?

Wait, they compromised on a number of facets (graduate school admissions, size of bed expansion, size of parking additions, routes of university shuttles, neighborhood policing)? A majority of which are unpopular with students? How about that…

As for the blatant pandering that these candidates have subscribed to, that is a product of students in this city refusing to organize themselves. If they registered as voters here, they might actually have a voice in what happens in their community.

Again read the goddamn thing (this time the issues report) before commenting about it!!! seems that neighbors (who i thought were intelligent people) seem to know only one thing – the GU administration and community are bad. well, guess what? you’re wrong. stupid twats

Oh. My. God.
Where did this big university come from? They want to expand? I’m flabbergasted! I assumed it was still a small community of priests teaching a few dozen boys from Maryland and Virginia! And why can’t all students live in Old North. That’s what they did when I moved here in 1884, dammit! And I heard the peach baskets were replaced with metal circles.

FUNNY that you take the “Georgetown University Issues Report,” as some sort of factual representation of the meetings that occurred. This so called Report, is just another example of how the University in its dishonest brokering turns a community meeting into something other than it was. There were many many comments that were more representative of the neighbors arguments, but somehow these are the type that make it in the report. GU is doing its usual fabulous job of falsely depicting itself and the neighbor comments, so as to build its deceitful case to the City. There are plenty of facts the neighbors have about student comments and actions, so be careful in throwing rocks in a glass house.

For the record, Foxhall doesn’t hate Georgetown. Barely any students move out here and the forest between us and the Hospital blocks out any signs that the University even exists. Which is the reason most of us live here instead of in Burlieth.

Just wanted to establish this early on before our name gets dragged into the Burlieth/West Georgetown mix.
