The Stone Harbor spouters complaining about the new homes in that town are in a tough predicament. Builders build what buyers want; bigger closets, gourmet kitchens, central air and maintenance-free exteriors. The Herald readers are sensitive to your sense of nostalgia because we have all experienced sadness about things that are not the same as they used to be, but I don't think that much can be done about it. The houses are up already. Hope you find peace with this situation.
