[quote=Anonymous]I think it's pretty much useless to discuss whether this is more charming than that -- people have different taste (and some people have bad taste), that's it. That said, I do think that homes built pre-WWII were built to last longer than those built today, even if those pre-WWII were cookie-cutters back then -- for me, that's obviously true. I also suspect that cookie-cutters pre-WWII homes were better built than cookie-cutters build after WWII. Personally, I like the idea of living in a home that has aged / will age nicely (especially, but not only, if I am going to age with it). I wonder: how many advocates of homes built in recent years can say that their homes will age like good wine, getting better over time? Or more generally, is it possible to have a home built that has character, is architecturally refined (whether classic or contemporary) and will age nicely, without being rich? [/quote]
