We're going through some similar things where I live in Pennsylvania, except in outr case it's a rash of developments and shopping centers. The first shopping center was alright because it was the first time we had a grocery store within 20 miles of the house, but the developments are annoying. While our house is worth more now, it doesn't seem worth it when you look into the once empty fields and now see 25 identical houses. So it goes.
