Well get ready for pretty much every building to wind up like this by 2050. The newer design is much more cost-efficient to the tune of upwards of a million dollars in maintenance and restoration savings over the long-term. It also doesn’t need inspections for ornamental elements that might fall off and hit somebody. Maintaining a historical building in its original state is a money black hole. Some condo guy isn’t shelling out extra cash so the building can look prettier.

And the reason nobody other than Hungarian fascists build buildings like that anymore is because it’s expensive as hell. The international style is just cheaper.

So until the revolution happens and so many issues get solved where we reach a point where building aesthetics are a top concern, have fun with this…
