Complex Problem, Simple Solution
This problem has a simple solution: https://www.washingtonpost.com/.../fairfax-streets.../
The TL;DR version is this neighborhood is named after a Confederate general and has streets with a Confederate theme (Plantation Parkway, Confederate Lane, etc.). A proposal to change the name of the subdivision and the streets has the support of half the neighborhood and has freaked out the other half.
The solution is easy! Tell everyone that, as part of the deal, one person living on each street will be selected at random. That person will have the street named after them. One grand prize winner in the drawing will get the neighborhood named after them.
Hold onto a piece of history, or BECOME part of history. Your choice. I'll bet a whole pile of residents will support the idea.
Now someone just needs to tell them.
