Well, I don't even know what to say. BUT, I can SO relate. As my neighbors die off from old age (most of us are near or past 70 years of age), who knows who will move in? LOTS of northerners selling their homes for insane dollars come down here and find way more house and land for 1/3 or 1/2 the price. The contractors buy up land, build five houses on an acre, fill it with folks who DO NOT want a yard and then they start deciding what's "best" for us?
I got the "nextdoor" letter too. Seriously? We all keep track of each other and let each other know if something is going on our own selves, our own way..... we talk to each other! We don't "need an app" to keep in touch. I can't believe this social media/don't talk or touch anyone/way of life.
The sad thing is, as Iain is finding out, you can't even live out in the boonies but what they don't/can't find you and plop down right next door.
Sigh.
Maybe I need to buy a huge chunk of land in the middle of some woods and we can all just build some cabins and talk about anything other than "I got an app for that" ???????
Sorry, this kind of stuff just gets to me. I know what's really going on, but I DO have to rant once in a while.......
