But again, we don't drive western-themed vehicles here, we drive modern and new cars and people are always looking for the latest models. Similarly, why does our architecture have to keep going to the past for inspiration? There's nothing architecturally significant about that western era. If you want western-inspired buildings, go to Heritage Park. We don't need to make the entire city look and feel like that.
