I feel your pain bro. Everyones disliked by someone, even us. Roman road is finally getting slowly "gentrified". There is a nordic cafe selling "foraged salads" (seriously, get a grip people) and a few decent coffee shops (not that I drink the crap) I just hope the number of twats with prams doesn't increase anymore, most the local pubs are pretty much creches these days, yeah it's great you've got a kid, but it might be nice to have some places where you don't have to watch what you are standing on and are able to have adult conversations rather than talking about cleaning up excrement and how little sleep you've had (although to be fair "adult" conversations tend to go down that route too...).
The Hospital conversion by Hackney farm is going to kill that area, it looks pure City horror show.
Which is why a 4 bed house in Walthamstow can be circa £900k. The wave of money washes outwards and suddenly places which were "i'd rather die than live in xxxx" for a certain sort of people are now somewhat desirable.
So part of me is slightly annoyed that I now live cheek by jowel with sort of people who previously would rather have died but they sold their two bed flat overlooking Clissold Park for £750k and needed a house now that little Hattie has arrived.
The other part of me is quite pleased that I can now get decent coffee at the end of my street.
