I'm not sure why you would say that. If you're willing to go off the 
beaten track, and spend a lot of time looking, there are a lot of great 
older homes around. I've seen a lot of them as we walk and drive around 
on the back roads.

I loved the house we owned in Chicago, a wood frame 2-flat with a nice 
yard, built a few years after the Chicago fire (1871). It's construction 
is FAR more solid than the "prettier" home we bought here in the Santa 
Cruz Mountains, built in 1989. The only downsides of the Chicago house 
were that it had noise from neighbors, and a city-sized lot.
