On the downside, if you can find exactly what you have here, somewhere else, the cohesiveness of "here" will dissolve, community spirit will be lost and the desire to defend what you have will dissipate. Why spill blood defending This Land when That Land over there is just as good?

I'm a pretty solitary guy most of the time, but I do feel we stand to lose a lot if the sense of "we have something special here, we need to cultivate and protect it accordingly" vanished.
