I'm dont think the people in need of affordable housing would prefer some mansion from 1902 is preserved for the quaint rustic feels in lieu of building more places to live that aren't antiques.

In that particular tweet we're discussing, that new poo poo ain't gonna be affordable. It's gonna be "luxury" housing

There was some discussion elsewhere in cspam about Blackrock buying up an 11k+ apartment complex in New York City that was built in 1947 and trying to get rid of rent control. They're already charging over $4k a month for 900 square foot poo poo built to house returning GIs eighty years ago.

In my example above, a nice older building that previously sold for $200K was knocked down and a hideous rear end duplex was built that sold for $470K + 450K.

Fair enough but I still don't see much of an issue with getting rid of old mansions and replacing them with more units that are modern. Even if its an ugly duplex.

lots of those mansions can be easily split into multiple apartments if needed. that's basically the entirety of whole neighborhoods in the northeast

Let's take a quick poll of which "don't tear down houses to build more housing" people own their homes and which don't

They're tearing down a mansion to build a duplex that will make more money for them than the mansion would

if they were building a ten unit building that'd be fine. They aren't.

I know that density is good, especially in a place like l.a., but a teardown for a home like this to be replaced by only a duplex should be a crime.

I don't like historical preservation laws. Like environmental protection laws, they have been weaponized by bad faith NIMBYs to prevent building more housing. I think that all historical preservation laws should be scrapped and environmental protection laws should be dramatically curtailed. If you don't want housing replacing old buildings or wetlands, allow it in your neighborhood. (You does not actually refer to Willa in this case.)

The sales listing has it as 4 bedrooms/2 baths.

Nice backyard worth $1 million+ sales price. And the upper windows being barred is an elegant touch.



I'm starting to change my mind about the teardown.

that horrible duplex absolutely met every design guideline for "breaking up the mass of the building planes" and "fitting the character of the development" and "variety in the fenestration in the facade"

mom and pop landlord just means you get to watch a specific person spend your specific money on a decadent lifestyle instead of it going into a massive pile that's doled out to shareholders far away. i'm against it.

Nope, when I am a mega corp all of the people who own shares of me will have to pay me dividends and then I will use that money to get knee and hip replacement surgeries. Just dozens of knees and hips, emblematic of the churn of essential employees since the death of the social contract and the lifetime employee. I'll eventually be the biggest mega corp in the world 🌎🌎🌎🌎

It looks like a normal Usonian-style house on a city lot, I had no idea why they were calling it a mansion. Listing says 2300 square feet. My shitbox 1907 wood frame house on a 30' x 100' lot is 1800 square feet.

I used to live across the street from this place. It is a 2300 square foot house built in 1910. Maybe it is also a mansion.
