I wish the current fixation with preserving crumbling Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing would just end. People have to keep piling money into keeping outdated constructions inhabitable, for what, nostalgia’s sake?
Embodied carbon. Liveability. Thermal mass. (New bricks and new concrete are expensive for us and the environment.) We don't have the skills/labour or the materials to demolish and rebuild every home over 100 years old. We barely build any new homes as it is.
