Just moved into an apartment that's 116 years old.
I'm just so happy that people had different perspective back then.
It's sad that we don't understand - unsustainable growth, scaffolding and prototyping phase is long overdue.
- learc83 10y agoPeople didn't have a different perspective back then. It's just survivorship bias. People built plenty of crappy disposable buildings 116 years ago, you just don't see them because they were crappy disposable buildings built 116 years ago.
- madengr 10y agoMy house, currently not there but still own it, is 173 years old. Though that's common in eastern US.
- ghaff 10y agoMine is just under 200 years old--also in the eastern US. It would be pretty silly though to view my house as this incredible structure that a farmer built 200 years ago to last for the ages. The fieldstone foundation is original as are various posts and beams. But the house has been expanded, rebuilt, updated, etc. in all manner of ways since it was built.
