  GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY v
WILLIAMS, Senior Circuit Judge: This case is the most recent stage of a long-running land-use dispute between George Washington University ("GW" or "the university") and the District of Columbia's Board of Zoning Adjustment (the "Board" or the "BZA").
But an all-encompassing land use regulatory system may have either replaced that "property" with a "new property" (or with several, one for each authorized class of use), or conceivably have replaced it with less than a new property (thereby, one would suppose, effecting a taking).
As universities are larger, make more intensive use of their land, and have greater spillover effects on neighboring communities than most other landowners, however, the District's legislative classifications meet this criterion.
