Ugh, that's exactly the thinking that is making the Beltine around Stampede look like Cowboy-Disney crap.

And at one point does "old become historic"?

Who says it's either or? You can restore or integrate old buildings with new developments and they can look fantastic. Just look at Bankers Hall as an example. And if you dont want to do that, atleast design something that is contemporary.

I've had enough of the fake stuff. Fake buildings are for fake cities.
