And totally skipping Georgetown.

Metro didn't skip Georgetown by choice, that's a myth.
Are you implying that the stops weren't deliberately chosen?
I'm saying that a Metro stop in Georgetown was obviously desirable, but technical constraints prevented its construction. There's an urban legend that community opposition forced Metro to cancel plans to build a stop there, but there's no evidence that's true.
