>I think it's important to remember that we do actually have old buildings

The (US) city I live in has streets built in the mid-1600s.

Considering the great fire of London and the Blitz, is your canard really accurate?

Depends on the region, I suppose. The fire of London certainly didn't affect buildings outside of London and the Blitz didn't level everything.
