The Crown Heights as we know it today, is diverse on their opinions in many matters. One of which is the Tishrei Orchim [guests]. Most are well aware of the great kiruv the Rebbe gave to his orchim, and many are in admiration of all those who spend of their hard earned money to be in 770 for Tishrei.
And perhaps in the point of being the Rebbes Orchim and orchim to 770 is precisely where the dissention amongst Crown Heights residents finds itself. If all of these people would truly have this matter ingrained in the depths of their hearts, that they are in Crown Heights as the Rebbes Orchim then much up of the pent up uneasiness amongst the locals would subside.
