Idea for a novel?
The Neck is a promontory that is really just a glorified sandbar, which means it is constantly moving, being eroded and rebuilt by currents and tides. That means everyone who lives on it has to be mobile too, living in houseboats, shepherd's huts on wheels, mobile homes. This ability to move means that the houses are always shuffling and reordering, changing their neighbourhoods and neighbours. The story is told through someone's thick and much amended address book, a record, really, of constantly changing relationships and social connections.
