How are modern dwellings different from earlier times?

Answer»

ar I moved from an 85 year old bungalow into a brand new 2200sf home. First, understand that no matter the age of the house, everything will break down. Now, here are the differences:-New home has better.1. Insulation and waterproofing2. Structural integrity, as it ACTUALLY has a building code it had to be built to3. Better suited to large, modern furniture. The old house wasn't built for my 65″ tv obviously.4. Easier to find replacement parts for.-old house has better :1. Architectural character, more homey, more charm2. Materials. Old hardwood floors, original door locks, etc3. Daylight, due to windows on every open wall. The trade off is NUMBER 3 from above.4. The neighborhood was more integrated, DIVERSE, historic, and walkable than the suburban subdivision I LIVE in now.
