From a "community" standpoint, I agree. People who've already proven they are here to stay and not to flip, who have proven they pay their bills and care for their neighborhood, are a better risk to the rest of the community.
From a marketing standpoint, I disagree. Those folks already have a home, and if they move out, someone who is /not/ looking for new construction will be moving in to their vacated property. Plus, that property is already occupied. They're already a done deal. The developer wants MORE people to move in, not merely a shift in population from one location to another.

I get your point and I also understand my friends from the pool. They are beside themselves as the entire reason they sold was that the original explanation was that the new house would be a walk in the park, not a challenge or a lottery. If you heard their entire explanation you would understand that the position they have taken overcomes a marketing position. Talk about sad. There are a whole lot of small details here that add up to disrespect towards people who bought their home directly from Mr. Schwartz and knew him very well.
It is what it is. It doesn't amount to a hill of beans what your or my outlook on this situation is cause you can't fight or talk to city hall when you can't get the Mayor to talk to you because nobody in a position of authority will speak to this couple.
My heart bleeds for them. I hope they survive this. They wouldn't do anything stupid but the stress is building. God help them.
