Exactly. Why must every area become generic copy of the other?  We have very diverse options in DC:  modern areas like the Waterfront and Ballpark district, many row house areas, dynamic late night areas like U Street, historic areas like Georgetown, suburban neighborhoods like Forest Hills and Crestwood, and neighborhoods with more of a village feel.

Can you please point me towards the parts of the Future Land Use Maps that require all areas to become the same?[/quote]

Adding a lot of high-density units to a low-density neighborhood would make it become the "same" as a high density neighborhood. Surely this is obvi?[/quote]

So all neighborhoods with single-family houses with yards are the same? The Palisades are the same as Dupont Park? Cleveland Park is the same as the Garden District in New Orleans, River Oaks in Houston, and Whitefish Bay in Milwaukee? I don't think so.[/quote]

But saturate them all with “vibrant dense mixed-use urbanist development” and they surely will start to look much the same.[/quote]
