What is wrong with people?? My "Hug a House" Campaign...

"A tear-down" is how it is described.  They define this by square footage, age and value of the lot.  Even realtors will describe a listed house as "the value is in the lot". Most of these tear-downs are between $600,000 - $1.5 million.  Yes, that is not a typo.

What has happened to our society that we feel it is acceptable to replace an older home with a new one? Have we become that disposable?  If it breaks, fix it. Don't replace it!  Style, history, design, nostalgia, originality, do these words mean nothing?  

Good grief people, quit trying to out-do your neighbor. Appreciate history and the beauty in architecture.  

What does it say about me when a "tear-down" is actually my dream home?  I would take one of these over a newly built Mansion any day:

What were you thinking people? You tore down history to build this. WTF?  No home should have this much stone.

Oh, and don't even get me started on this beauty...NOT! This is only the side view but it was not worth my time or view to get a photo from the front. Disgraceful.

I think the Dallas heat is getting to me. I am a little cranky. Do you have an opinion?
