\t\t\t\t\"nice<\/a>The majority of people who move to Stapleton are coming here for the long haul or at least until their kids graduate from high school. But of course, there is some turnover, and that turnover on a block or neighborhood can be positive or negative. Sometimes the new guys on the block are an upgrade from the old neighbors and are cooler and more fun. Other times, cool neighbors move, and the new family who moves in is rude or even obnoxious. These are the most common things that happen when someone moves away and a new family moves in. But there is one more thing that can happen. The new neighbors can simply be too nice for the block. They can be cool and fun, but simply too good of people for their surrounding neighbors.\n\n\u201cWe have these new neighbors, and they are really great,\u201d says Stapleton resident \u201cNate\u201d who preferred to not be correctly identified. \u201cThe problem is, they are just great people. And historically, that\u2019s just not what this block is about.\u201d Block companion \u201cSandy\u201d agrees. \u201cThey go to church, do charity events, bring everyone on the block baked goods. I mean just everything. They end up making the rest of us feel bad about who we are.\u201d\n\u201cJennifer,\u201d also on the block, says her hood typically spends their time drinking and having meaningless conversation. \u201cWe used to have a lot of harmless gossip on the block,\u201d says \u201cJennifer.\u201d \u201cBut now, we feel so bad about ourselves because of the new neighbors, we just don\u2019t have as much fun. I\u2019m not saying it\u2019s a bad thing, I\u2019m just saying it has really changed the dynamic.\u201d The block knows it is something they will have to work through. \u201cWe would never ask that they change,\u201d says \u201cNate.\u201d \u201cWhat we are hoping is that we get to some point where we can be who we are and know we are for sure not being judged.\u201d \u201cJennifer\u201d agrees. \u201cIt would be nice if they showed some flaws, imperfections. It would make us feel a little better about how bad we are as people. Until then, we will have to keep pretending we are at least half as good of people as they are, and that is just a lot of work.\u201d ]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
