I have a feeling this is like asking if you could take the community out of Little Italy in NYC.
For the tourist coming in, looking through the windows, having a canoli, does the community really matter? Are they even visible in the throngs of the crowd?
But for the people who live there day in and day out, the expulsion of a popular shop owner from their midst might be quite perturbing and a big stir.
At the end of the day, without those shop owners who come back every day, Little Italy probably would not be the same pleasant experience for the tourists. I imagine it’s similar for the largely invisible to the end user stack exchange community.
