That example is ducking stupid.. you’re saving derelict 1950’s west coast modern style homes which have been left to rot? Wtf maybe If the city was so concerned about it they should have bought it themselves.

I’m on a few heritage Vancouver FB groups mostly to see old pictures and people have an insane idea of “heritage” homes. This isn’t Europe, a home built in 1900, unless it was an exceptional example of craftsmanship (thinking a building like Canuck Place, etc) who ducking cares.

So many of these examples people cry about being torn down are completely unremarkable, bordering on mass produced homes.

My home was built in 1911, as were the two homes on either side of mine, as well as 2 on the kitty corner, they are all very similar style with slight differences. However, over those 100+ years each home has been basically gutted and heavily renovated. I’d say my home probably sticks to its original guts the most of the 4-5 homes. With that said, other than the bones of the home, it’s a very unremarkable design. Modern craftsman style homes represent that era farrrrr better than mine ever will. Yet people think it shouldn’t be torn down or gutted simply because it’s X years old? It’s insane
