Of course.
Try not to blur the separation of your own life and that which is going on around you. It's ok to have a sense of sadness for them, but not to be personally saddened where you're overwhelmed with their issues.
I see my own community changing too. It used to be an even mix of people, well, there's still a mix of people (not like camels are moving in lol) but anytime a community is not balanced, problems being to arise, imo.
