Dear Editor,
After reading about all the complaints regarding new large homes, I feel I just have to say to all the complainers, “No one wants to live in your old house.”
The one with draughty, old, single-pane aluminum windows, an old, inefficient furnace, old plumbing and wiring, leaky gutters and poor insulation in the attic and walls.
People want modern, new, efficient houses no matter how “good the bones are” in an old house, and I say good for them.
There comes a point when it makes more sense to knock down and rebuild rather than remodel.
So enough already. Many of us like how our new neighbourhoods are evolving.
