Making way for active neighbors

Finally joined the boards been playing since Halloween 12', I don't get why people feel the need to judge others on how they build their towns. I think it's silly to spend money ok characters that you don't know where they are... I don't use roads I want to see all my towns people at my squidport boardwalk , is that make me a tool or?? I have 2 brown houses I don't farm that way. My point is as long as someone is a good neighbor what's the big deal on how their Springfield is laid out??
