Oh, no doubt. I grew up that way and there's a good deal I still miss about it, for all that I appreciate city conveniences. But if you're getting new rich neighbors, one assumes you're not considering selling in a vacuum, either. And my experience has been that the loose communality you describe is far from immune to the influence of a lot of money. One of my own distant cousins sold a place to a developer a few years back, without consulting anyone, that'd been in the family for four generations. Even those relations most infuriated by the sale eventually had to concede that, for the just shy of a million the developer paid her, they'd have done the same.
