What? Brick lasts longer than almost anything else. I suppose you could build a house out of diamonds, and then it would last forever, but for the most part, people who want sturdy, reliable houses construct them using brick. The Big Bad Wolf was never able to huff, puff, and blow the brick house down, remember? When Oakland's houses are falling apart and are eventually bulldozed to make room for new housing, Boston's brownstones will still be standing and still be occupied.

Those pics look like they were taken in a nice neighborhood, btw.

I meant that it looks older than other material. Obviously it lasts longer.


And your point? Why don't you come to the "nice neighborhood" and find out just how nice it is. I'm sure you'd find North Richmond nice too.

And you think this is a nice neighborhood?

Obviously we have different definitions of "nice".
