Good points, Eileen. Much of the noise and traffic doesn’t come from local students- people come from all over the metro area for the restaurants and bars, or to visit friends who live in the area.

Okay. If we actually had bonfire parties or mock weddings with rock bands outside late at night, I would be able to accept the neighbors’ complaints as legitimate. But I have not only never been to but haven’t even heard of anyone holding or attending a party like this – and I’m pretty sure something that involved fire would get around pretty quickly.

Ignoring the fact that there’s a university for a second: Part of living in a neighborhood is accepting that neighbors are going to make noise. Part of living in ONE OF THE LARGEST CITIES IN THE COUNTRY is accepting that it’s NOT going to be quiet at night or on the weekends the way it would be if you lived in the suburbs. There are buses. Cars. Airplanes. And, yes, people.

Unfortunately ANC and Zoning Board will believe the hyperbole. It is way easier to buy into the stereotype of drunkard college student than crotchety professionals playing the damsel in distress. Especially when the damsel pays the taxes that fund ANC and the Zoning Board.

Georgetown has been here since 1789. You knew what you were getting into when you moved here, neighbors. Suck it up or move away.

Different circumstances, but the same story- neighbors upset about college kids drinking. I have always had the same position on the issue- Georgetown University has been in the same place for 221 years. When you moved to the neighborhood, you had to know that you would be living feet from a university that would have drunk students walking outside being loud at all hours on the weekends. You were not obligated to live there and you can’t expect people to have sympathy for you for living a block from a university and shockingly having to deal with loud drunk college kids.

These posts should be submitted to the record of the ANC and Zoning Board. Let this lunacy stand in the public eye for all to see. Hyperbole like this can only help the University’s position.
