It is too expensive to look after and repair old buildings. This money should be spent on building modern buildings instead. To what extend do you agree or disagree?

In

contemporary epoch, it is often argued that the maintenance of old

is costly and worthless that the amount of

spent should be invested in modern facilities and amenities. From my perspective, while being positive with the given idea, I

also

believe that the situation should be dependent on what kind of

are being discussed. On the

hand, the expenses of repairing, decorating, or reconstructing old historical

cost an arm and a leg.

To begin

to maintain the quality as these

are frail so they could be destroyed or damaged at any time. Take the houses in the Old Quarter in Ha Noi as an example, they have been built for over a hundred years now, and the

On the other hand
