Guerneville - Getting Better or Worse?

My spouse and I checked out Guerneville yesterday and we really loved the redwoods, the river, all the nature, and the little winding roads. The little town was cute too. The people were...gloomy and creepy. It felt like a twilight zone town, just very quiet and lots of staring sullen people. However, if the town in the process of improving/attracting new families, it could still be worth considering. Does anyone have insight on where the town might be headed? Creepier or less creepy?
