[quote=Anonymous]You can change and maintain older homes it just costs money. My grandmother owns a beautiful home from the 1700s. It’s gorgeous and she had maintained and updated it for the 60+ years she has lived there. I have relatives in England who own or owned homes all the way back to the 14th century. Beautiful homes and varying sizes some tiny thatched cottages, others large manors that have been expanded on throughout the years. And in the Uk many of those homes are protected. I much prefer all those homes to any of the contemporary box homes and mass produced new builds. The other issue is if you have a developer build a new home and aren’t involved get any architect, etc, sometimes the newer homes are horribly built. I have seen old homes torn down and it takes years to build a new home but had extensive work on it and is clearly a quality home that fits in with the neighborhood. I’m all for that. [/quote]
