MITIGATION?

SNAP does not and cannot mitigate the noise in the Burleith/Georgetown neighborhood as they only work twelve hours a week. This party was at 9:30 PM and so SNAP wasn't available and the DC Police no longer respond as they collect their overtime from "Rocky", GU's celebrated police chief. WTF?

These particular students moved the party inside after they found they were being recorded but not until they had pissed off half the neighborhood. What's with the shouting? Is that supposed to be cool...fun...sophisticated? Oh you're drunk so we are supposed to listen? The Zoning Commission seems to think that the University can "mitigate"this noise, There is a much talked about noise law. So far, three tickets have been given in a year. On campus, there were over 450 DWI and another 400 noise citations handed out last year. That's according to GU's own publications.

it's only gotten worse as the University has increased in size from 6500 total in 1992 to a new total of 13000 plus. It's a numbers game and the University should be made to reduce its numbers as the Office of Planning suggested.

YOU CAN ALWAYS FIND SOMETHING TO BE PROUD OF!

Directly from the Georgetown's website dedicated to whatever version of the Campus Plan we happen to be working with this week. Could be part of GU's new advertising: "In his/her third and fourth year, your child will have a 27 percent chance of encountering a Metropolitan Police Officer and getting a felony arrest!"

I believe it's time to wrap things up here at DGS.com and get on with the business of cataloging the many reasons why GU shouldn't be allowed to grow. This site will be ramped up as needed but I think our little alley got quite enough attention in the last couple of weeks. For those of you who feel this is a sign of weakness, you may be right and then you may be wrong. I suspect those of you called to a life of alcohol abuse are like fish swimming upstream. You have no idea why but it's not a pretty picture!
