Huh? I mean buildings get condemned or rebuilt sometimes, but talk like that tells me you haven't been to Boston or New York.
I was commenting based on several documentaries on the US I've watched, where it was covered the building habits in the country.
I'm aware you have older cities but the trend is to tear down and build over, new and bigger.
Which isn't a bad thing. Everything doesn’t have historical significance and sometimes new = improved.
For example I'd argue the USA is much more infrastructure friendly to the disabled because of it.
