Either through gentrification or decay. My neighborhood which is a middle class neighborhood of small, medium-sized and a few large houses, is next to some tony shore towns that have become summer havens for a group of New Yorkers. In the past few years they have set their sites on our neighborhood and it has become a noisy, unfriendly place in the summer and parts of the year. A lot of tear downs are also going on and the support for the public schools is diminishing.

Prices are astronomical so I could get a bundle for my house but I’m not looking to move. I’m just trying to make peace with the changes.

Any thoughts or similar experiences?
