my in-laws are one of the few holdouts on their block in roseville. neighborhood is solid, but starter tract homes built in the 80's. most are original though theirs has been completely redone and kept up, other not so much. they're clearly stuck now cause they'd never get their money out of it. public schools were bad then[[white trash) and my wife attended private school throughout the 90's. macomb mall and eastland were their malls-now they don't even shop at lakeside. funny how it only took a generation for the neighborhood to turn over. and why is this? i'd have to say a big part was due to the homogeneous nature of suburbia-tract homes and strip malls. nothing to claim as uniquely home because everything's lifecycle is 15-30 years.
