Developer who tore down historic San Francisco house ordered to build an exact replica

Indeed. My aversion to all the aspects of my childhood being “remade” is not due to anything sacrosanct about it - it’s just the sheer fucking bald-faced laziness of “hey let’s take everything once popular and reboot/remake it” versus actually creating something original. It’s not like it retroactively makes the things of the past worst (most of the time at least) but it’s certainly not doing anything special either.
