Growth for growth's sake is an antiquated notion.
#RazeAndRebuild is so last century.

"The most sustainable building is the one you don’t build. The next most sustainable is the building you already have."

"The conflation of demolition with progress is just one of the deeply ingrained anti-urban sentiments of contemporary American society. But when a building is demolished, it represents a systemic communal failure. It is a trashing of the hopes, dreams and capital that went into its initial creation and a repudiation of the efforts that went into its making and maintenance. Buildings aren’t eternal, but they certainly should have lifetimes that far exceed that of people. Centuries should be the minimum. Buildings can, and should be, extremely durable and capable of virtually endless modification and adaptation."
