My parents are always complaining about how the town I grew up in (and where none of us currently live) is changing.
I spent so many years mourning the loss of where I grew up, which was in the country, but which changed in what sounds like a similar way to your town. I felt the loss deeply; and yet you can't hold to anything, least of all stuff like that.
It's a hard truth to come to terms with, though.

Studying economics is what let me be happy for the changes, or rather for the larger number of people who now get to enjoy what only a smaller number used to.
Adapting to change is irritating, but if you have other-regarding preferences, you can accept that sometimes your losses are meaningful gains to others.
