Keep in mind this is for MLS purposes only (as far as I know)
The only real downside is the elimination of estate communities. They are grouped into the general community name.
Some Realtors I spoke to are concerned it will de value estate homes. I don't see it changing much as Realtors and sellers know if they are in a estate area or not and will price accordingly.
As soon as you have the mistake of an estate area home being priced according to the community in general it will cause problems but perhaps the blame should fall no further than the realtor &/or home owner for not knowing the property.
