Default Bad lifestyle choices

I witnessed the same scenario in my former neighborhood. Originally a dirt road with small seasonal cottages comprised of blue-collar workers, firemen, and policemen. We would have block parties monthly, rotating from one house to the next. The kids will get together every day, swim, waterski, and board games at night. A great neighborhood full of camaraderie and trust.

Now the cottages are year-round McMansions. Everyone keeps to themselves and occasionally calls law enforcement on each other. Lots of 'keeping up with the Joneses'. Out of Staters certainly are a responsible lot.
