Would George III Have Felt at Home in Today's D.C.?

Geoffrey Wheatcroft at the Boston Globe writes on why George III would have found himself at home in today's District of Columbia.

While Mr. Wheatcroft certainly has some points in his article, he fails to recognize – or at least fails to demonstrate such recognition – the immense expansion of the reach and the size of the state since the times of George III. Both the London and the Washington, D.C. of our times are probably far beyond what George III could have dreamt of.
