AE farms are like the big shiny megamart that opens outside of town, and the regular content is like the little Mom & Pop store in town where they greet you by name and ask after your family.
If the megamart opens, people will go there. It's convenient, it has what people need, and if it's soulless, so what? People go there to save money and get the groceries they need, not to have an enriching life experience.
Besides, it's their money. They can spend it where they like.
But it would be dishonest to say the little Mom & Pop store won't suffer as a result.
So what are you going to do? Force the megamart to close, just for the sake of preserving the spirit of the town? Or let it keep running, and watch people beat a path there until some of the newest arrivals don't even know the Mom & Pop store exists?
Hope you all have an answer that suits everyone, because I don't.
