I actually like having my neighborhood to myself. My FC house is in an active, busy ward with lots of silly shout conversations going on all the time. It's very much a social place. My personal house is in a dead neighborhood, and I rarely see anyone. I have the Brimming Heart to myself, and I can sit there and craft with the waterfall at my back in solitude. I might be willing to trade that to get rid of the eye sore of the lot that was purchased but was never built that is right beside me. However, I suspect my neighborhood is going to stay quiet all the same.
