It's a very sensible location. It's land that has been in the family for a
while and has unmeasurably high personal value. In fact, there are lots of
equally valuable connections to places and people in the surrounding
community, despite the "nonsensibility" of a slight majority of the
neighbors.
But like I said, there are many people with even deeper (moral, social,
financial, historical) attachments to their location than those my family
has. Are they just being "silly"?

What if it costs more than they _have_?
