> people in the 60’s

Are you sure that was the opinion of the average person or was it the opinion of someone writing a column on architecture in a magazine?

You’re not really aware of the history of city, huh?

The neighborhoods with Victorians were either torn down or became low income in the 1950s (ever wonder why hippies flocked to Haight Ashbury?)

Were they torn down or became low income because they were built in the Victorian style or was it perhaps because they were older buildings that needed a lot of renovation so it was cheaper to tear them down and build new or sell them off at lower prices?
