Sure, but not the intent of my post which was to point out that there is a lot of space between “all of the above” and “bland stereotype” and to push back on the idea we are anywhere close to the latter.
Lots of talk in this thread, for example, about tearing down old buildings, but not much at all about the rehabilitation of them. Heights House hotel (since this is a hotel thread) is a good example, but numerous others including all the renovations on Blount St, Transfer Food Hall, Raleigh Iron Works etc
Of course, this is a subjective conversation, but I just reject the premise that retention of your old building inventory is the only path to be a cool and interesting city or that we are even doing a bad job of that to begin with. JMO
