[quote=Anonymous]None of the close in suburbs have ever been dirt cheap.  I don't think people saw "living further out"  as quite as far out as these days, but it was still by choice how close in or not one lived.

I know people who thought Reston was practically another continent in the 80's - not that long ago!

Anyway, if you are someone who bought close in you paid for it, relative to dollars of the time.  Point being, many of those resent the new construction.  I guess I can see why, but it seems to stem almost 100% from jealousy that the "old" do not like the "new".  Even if you speak about it amongst the dwindling "old" crowd, it still becomes known rather quickly.  I just don't think people are very discreet about their feelings about the new construction.  Change is unstoppable.  Furthermore, I am grateful of the new houses contribution to the tax base!

The animosity shows shortsightedness and intolerance.  I wonder what else the "old" owners are intolerant of?!?!  Wow.
