I agree with your overall premise but FWIW here is a house in Philly(Bryn Mawr) that somebody paid $6 M for and is going to be a tear down. There is quite a bit of contoversy as its about to be demolished but was the last work(1929) of the prestigious architect Addison Mizner(spanish gothic). In its place will be a 10,000 sq ft mcmansion.
