Very white pill-ing. Thank you.

That's funny, I was just thinking about this last night but in terms of how to improve the maintenance of buildings in small towns. So many main streets out side the cities look apocalyptic, thanks to the constant siphoning of money and manpower. It's so demoralizing to go to town to shop or run errands and see everything in ruins, it's no surprise people avoid it.

As far as filling up your whole dunbar number locally with people who moved together, it might be a bit much and look like an invasion to the people who already live where you're going. Which isn't conducive to integrating. Remember you're the immigrants in this situation and 100 people dropping into a town of a few thousand is a lot. You'll get more resistance from the natives if you look like a colony rather than a few new neighbors. Might be better to think smaller for that reason alone, unless you've the wealth to start a new town from scratch.
