The "unnecessary gut job" example was the most painful. A lot of value was destroyed there, IMO. There was nice work in the fireplace, the moldings, the floor, and it was all well-maintained. Any "fashion depreciation" is done. With maintenance, it's going to look that good forever. Its replacement is a mediocre sheet-rock job that's going to age quickly and need another gut before long.

Half of what gets to me is the waste. I picture the dumpster that was undoubtedly outside during the gut, and I get mad.

Also, glass staircases are going to be super dated in ten years. They're already becoming an ugly cliche.
