[quote=Anonymous]As others have said, there are well-built older buildings, and shoddier newer ones. Not everyone values the tear-down, fast fashion culture, be it buildings or clothing. I loved living in a pre-war apartment building in NYC, a turn of the last century DC row house, and have fond memories of the house that my Mom grew up in. My freshman dorm was built in 1894, and it was built to last. I’m fine with tearing down the ticky tacky boxes. I think it’s a shame that so many older buildings get torn down when they could be renovated. Unfortunately, this is what capitalism often looks like. [/quote]
