This is why I opposed historical designations. Most old buildings are obsolete and need to be destroyed. There are only a tiny number of buildings that are really historic, sure save them, but the vast majority are just old and need to be knocked down for something better. If it isn't taught in history class then it isn't historic.

It is easy to see the loss of something old. However the opportunity cost from not building new is something that is very hard to get people to understand.
