"What makes one building worth saving and another worth destroying? "
Among the insightful list of causes in this fine article, there is money. If money were removed from the equation, it might be easier to conclude that just about no building should ever be demolished. For if money weren't a factor, the human means could be found to clean up the cockroaches and rats in the most deteriorated of old structures, and learn from the challenge of saving even sagging structures. You would be able to save the rich heritage the article discusses if you concluded that it was more important than money. Ironically, though, the Strong Town video explains how disregarded old structures, some deserted, are more productive tax-wise than brand new ones that replace them.
