> What people want out of a house changes over time.

Hard disagree. At it's essence, a house is a shelter from the environment. The need for walls and a roof doesn't change.

Engineering a house for longevity isn't hard, all that really matters is water/moisture management.

Any "wrong" things with a house can be fixed. There are very few houses that are unsafe to inhabit and require a rebuild.

A house is so much more than a shelter from the environment. If it were, people would live in garages made of metal plate.

Fixing anything can be done / is possible. That doesn't mean it is the brightest idea to always do so.
