Yes, developers came to these "wanna-be Mayberry's" because that is where the people and money were and were moving to. So, to say that Hall Rd. was not dictated by market forces is fairly eyeball-gougingly confounding, unless one is to argue that NOTHING that exists today is dictated by market forces because EVERYTHING, it seems, is in one way or another, a direct or indirect product of a subsidy [[we can look at the current "demand" in Downtown Detroit, for example, if we are going to "go there.")
