[quote=Anonymous] When an old house is torn down in an established neighborhood of nice homes, it seems like there is always a lot of criticism. But these old houses were not meant to last forever. Also, the new style seems to be boxy and contemporary. Although I prefer a more traditional look, I wonder if developers assume buys will want a boxy look. (On the Bravo show Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles, one realtor (Josh) always lamented when an elegant old house was torn down to make way for a boxy contemporary house. Apart from the issue of what the new house looks like, is it probably for the best that a house that is at least 70 years old gets torn down? They may look nice, but the layouts are not ideal. Also, the materials - windows for example -- may look nice, but technology has made new windows so much better.[/quote]
