Chesterfield is also an area that people tend to focus on building and adding attractions, which also drives up the cost of homes.

Gentrification tends to be an area that some individuals tend to get upset about. My community is split up in redistricting, divided between congressional districts, state house and senate districts, as well as the state assembly districts, which dilutes our interests due to certain parties.
