Does this happen in your country? This is a common occurrence in Austria.

>>213763984 (OP)
Yes, happened not too long ago to a building part of my family used to own but sold. They turned it into soulless airbnb. Pretty sure they're in violation of some laws regarding old façades.

>>213764135
Wpuld you visit Austria to see building on the right?

They make people happy because they look nice.

>>213763984 (OP)
no, we're still backwards and 30 years behind western Europe (as usual) in regards to our approach to architecture, here buildings like that on the left are sadly still gradually renovated (for huge money) rather than being torn down and replaced with affordable, modern housing with all necessary in 21st century amenities like elevators or underground garages.

>>213764164
yes, buildings on the left reminds me of an savage past that should be erased in Europe.

>>213764221
This is why Euros laugh when you claim to be a certain nationality. You are but a drone.

>>213764164
why would you want tourists? they only bring chaos, mess, pollution and tourism-related jobs have the lowest profit margins, often being more of an economic burden than a benefit for the country.

A country like Austria would certainly gain more from radically decreasing the number of visitors. They can redirect them to poor countries like Poland which still need even low-margin jobs and have so few tourists so even tripling their number won't really affect them.

isn't illegal to remodel a historic building over there?

>>213764135
Yes, you barbaric materialist swine, yes they are.

>>213763984 (OP)
is there any chud community in DACH countries that objects to this kind of "modernization"? Because when I see that stuff posted on r/Europe, all Germanicx flags are usually in awe because "muh affordable housing for young black homosexual jewish families" or something

>>213764329
bro thinks the façade of a building is immaterial

>>213764387
traditional architecture is fascism o algo

>>213763984 (OP)
Yes, I hate this shit

>>213764135
You're saying that aesthetics has no functional value.

On a fucking anime website.

>>213764593
When they do this too

>>213764606
The concept of self awareness is too foreign for Amerigolems

>>213763984 (OP)
Normally they keep the old facade like in this pic: >>213764698

>>213764094
Here buildings built before 1950 have special status and you can only charge low rent, like up to 600 Euros, so every excuse and loophole gets used to tear them down and replace them with some ugly cube so you can charge 1400 Euros rent or sell it to some chink or gulf investor that won't use it anyway

>>213765575
here people generally praise the Austrian housing/rental model but after what you wrote I have my doubts now

Makes sense. Old buildings are too expensive to maintain

It happens still alot. But the 60s - 80s were the worst years in terms of archtictural preservation. It was much worse back then.

Nowadays you study engineering in a way to preserve old pieces like these. It's common to build old looking buildings from scratch in most cities. Old architecture simply looked better and is more livible. It has a psychological effect on humans.

Pic related is build from scratch. In the 60s this was a parking place.

>>213769446
beautiful but what's the point if there will be 0 ethnic Germans living there, if not already now then in 20 years max

>>213767275
This is actually a big misconception. Most modern constructions are actually more expensive than classical ones. Some modern museums cost 10 times the money than just re-creating a classical counter part. (but this way the architect can't collect as much fame, as it doesn't stand out too much)

>>213769446
We're usually a few decades behind. Once we've torn down all of our historical residential buildings we'll probably start doing this too

>>213764135
Said the ugly guy

>>213763984 (OP)
Not too often since we already tore down most of our historical neighborhoods in the 60s.

I knew a very very rich guy in NYC who had to pay the price of a house in queens to get the decorative facade on the side of his building redone because he wasn't allowed to remove them and there were supposedly only a half dozen or so guys left with the ability to work on the type of stone it was.

I also know a person who got paid handsomely to spend six months putting together a 100 page presentation to the preservation board requesting permission to replace an (admittedly fairly well known) neon light fixture with an identical LED fixture.

I'm all for SOVL and everything but at some point you gotta let shit go or at least be willing to compromise
