I'm from pretty much the most crowded country in Europe and there is virtually nowhere to build without reducing what little green space we have left.
Consequently, I see lots of familiar buildings being torn down and replaced with apartments (or occasionally homes). My first job was in a beautiful historic building that had plenty of links to the past of my town before I was born. My parents and grandparents and great-grandparents would all have used it regularly and I feel weird that I was the last generation to know it.
Although we have plenty of historical things here (going back 5000 years), my personal history of just a few years ago is being erased.
Do you notice the construction of new homes in your town?
