  1. I don't understand his example about buildings going out of style, no longer valued and being torn down after 50 years. That was the same situation with buildings built in 1900, people had such opinions about buildings he praises in this video.

  3.  @Imperiumrex-xj4dw  It is hard to build massive buildings in old styles.

  4.  @mano0n  have you seen what is being shared on most influential architecture sites? Going historical is seen as tasteless and outdated.

  5.  @MVSSENJU  many old houses since 1800s have steel sweet roof, many old updates houses have modern single piece windows without old wooden frames. So they aren't exactly that unique from each other. Arches is pretty simple detail, new apartment buildings also have unique details at such minor scale.

  7. historic towns are terrible to live and work in. They often do not even have decent parks.

  8. @alexsmith-ob3lu  i want space, trees, grass and bushes no mater the architecture style. But old towns are bad example of planning, theyvare too dense and lack green spaces or parks. It is not a surprise people were demolishing parts of old towns since 1850s till late 1900s all over the Europe. US of course was way too radical with that.

  9. ​ @alexsmith-ob3lu  If you call roadside bushes and potted flowers a park then it is hilarious. I call that a wet stinky band aid. A central park is kilometers is far away to most people living in Manhattan and it is extremely overcrowded to my liking, almost no totally empty spots. I need a real park less than 100 meters away, preferably right in front of my windows to feel it is a nice place to live. A tree in concrete is not enough. Your examples are of places that I think are terrible to live, have insufficient green spaces and are just unpleasantly ugly.

  10.  @alexsmith-ob3lu  Or how about building a few "towers in the park"? They are dense, dense enough for being a part of the city and you have nature all around you. I need to work in a city, that is where all the offices are located, but I hate living in one. So Either give me such apartment towers without noisy shops on the ground lever or I am expanding suburbia with another detached house.

  13. @alexsmith-ob3lu  most Americans hate dense cities and live in suburbia with their mansion size houses (compared to European).
