[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Exactly.  Their anger should be with the code and zoning laws, not the builder.

Getting mad at the builder is like screaming at starbucks for selling expensive coffee and putting the local coffee shop out of business.  That is not Starbucks fault.

Rally support for everyone to push back on the new builds - make sure that you tell these folks that it will lower their property values and the services the community can provide.   Start making signs

I'm not really "angry" but it's definitely disappointing to see our neighborhood change just because of some greedy builders. Ideally, we'd have a community-minded builder who builds to suit the neighborhood. Actually there are two smaller builders who build more modest homes, but they probably only get 10-20% of new builds around here. I'd buy one of their homes for sure. [/quote]
Your neighborhood isn't changing because of the greedy builders.  It is changing because of the buyers who buy what they sell.  No one owns neighborhoods.  Things change. If you live in a neighborhood where economics are in favor of the new build rather than remodel, the new builds will become more common, and they will become the neighborhood.  Unless your neighborhood has a protected status, it is not immune from change, and no one is obligated to fit in.[/quote]
