[quote=Anonymous][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, [b]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?[/b] [/quote] Yes, but the location will not be ideal.[/quote]
