I can sympathize! On the one hand, I *like* the new people. They seem nice. On the other hand, we *were* trying to buy a house, and that has become impossible-- between the absolute shortage of available housing, and the new folks being, well, people who can afford to relocate to another state for a better school district... sigh. We can't compete. Can't help wondering how long it'll take for things to re-balance.
