ReplyDeleteBrick lives matter !!
ReplyDeleteKansas city is shitty.
ReplyDeleteHow many old brick buildings have to collapse before people realize that, while they may be old and charming, building standards of a century ago are considered unsafe today. Remember several years ago that building in the bottoms that collapsed?
ReplyDeleteYou are sooooo full of shit.
DeleteProperties of a bygone era are well built,even over built. ..but you are from a generation of overpriced glued and staple housing
Buildings collapse due to neglect for the most part. When areas of town are no longer fashionable, the buildings are considered undesirable and slide into decline because the smart money says follow the new development that is more profitable. Social trends still say new is better and old is worn out and undesirable.
ReplyDeleteThat is, until some white kids go slumming, trying to live cheap because they are just out of art school, or some other person is trying to jump start their business with low upfront capital, bring attention to apart of town that has been abandoned by city government and real estate developers. Then, after the urban pioneers make a place "acceptable", the developers move in and the tax incentives begin to flow. The old buildings that are left after a long period of neglect and destruction, suddenly become "historic" and suitable for bare brick lofts and offices.
Buildings last as long as they are considered economically desirable. There are buildings in Kansas City that have been gutted leaving only the brick walls, then the structure rebuilt entirely on the inside, maintaining the old look. It is not a matter of it not being possible to redevelop old buildings, it is a matter of the willingness to do it. I have seen old car spring repair shops turned into exclusive office space.
seriously, who gives a shit?
ReplyDeleteI agree with 7:02pm. Many of the houses that are 100+ years old have withstood the test of time. These newer houses crumble under a high wind... like a massive fart will cause structural damage. Older homes were built tough, to last and endure harsh conditions. I never see a news story about how older homes have crumbled under high winds but everywhere suburbia that's the case. #teamhistoricproperties
ReplyDeleteGot more pussy in one of those Nelle's than Glazer will ever imagine in his wildest dreams. While he was walking Westport with pocket change from daddy, I was banging cute babes from Nebraska, Iowa, Oklahoma and Arkansas, then down to Parkway 600 for some calamari/vodka and the next "notch".
