Oh, sad news. I guess the developers must have made an offer for the side-by-side lots that the families just couldn't refuse. Where are the parents and grandparents going to go now? Is it assisted living time for them? I'm imagining how wrenching it would be to no longer live on the same block as your family after years of togetherness.
What a sad story. And a familiar one. I have watched this kind of thing happen over and over again in my lifetime. And I'm not even that old.
I'm sorry. That really sucks.
It's really sad to see older neighborhoods like this be destroyed to make room for new homes. It's such a waste. And I feel so badly for the families that lose their sense of "home" after leaving neighborhoods they've occupied for generations.
UGH. Well now, wait 20 years and the yuppie families will all leave and the low income will move in... can't ya just feel the love?
*sigh*
Take heart! Maybe, just maybe, one of those homes will be purchased by someone you actually like. This happened to me. After suffering through months of dust and dirt on my windowsills, and the loss of hundreds of trees in our tight-knit Boston neighborhood, one of the McMansions was bought by a woman with whom I became friends and remained so until my move south. It is a sad fact of life that these houses will come in, but sometimes there really is a silver lining. Not always, but sometimes.
