PP, the Cracker Barrel analogy is *expected* but not accurate.

Of my friends who live in new houses and bought before the recession (so they are doubly lucky, if you will); their neighborhoods ALL started out with mostly old homes and are now ALL mostly new homes.  Who would have thunk?  Certainly not the ones who WISHED the neighborhoods stayed old, conveniently so that their horrible additions (on their old houses, obviously) would not look so dreadfully out of place!

Change happens.  Get over it.  Sorry if you don't look like you can afford the neighborhood (in your old house), but you don't own the neighborhood (regardless that you think you should).  Period.  Besides, you sound ridiculous trying to desperately detract from the inevitable.

If I could afford one of those gorgeous new homes, I would.  What is the harm in admitting it?  It sounds far more true and convincing than being so clearly jealous and ugly about it.    If you want to live amongst old houses, just move.  It's easy.
