1920's house tour in Detroit and an IMPOSSIBLE roof. 

Awesome, thanks for sharing. Good stuff.

Awesome, your lucky to work there. An amazing collection of houses. Good luck.

Thanks, will do.

Wow! That's great. Congrats.

Nice, I hear grosse point is even better. Have fun.

@@BrentHull Ann Arbor too has some beautiful homes and years ago I use to work out there and had the privilege to work on a few over the years.

That's what I discovered.

Glad you enjoyed

You are so welcome! Thanks for watching.

Many thanks!

Agreed!

Speaking about the situation in the UK, I can tell you about a couple of factors that limit the style quality of new houses being built. I suppose that, before that, I should say that almost all houses of some age are surrounded by either/both high fences and hedges. You would not find houses of the quality shown in this video being so open to people walking or driving by. Going back to limitations of the individuality of new houses. The first one, and biggest by far, is economics. Land that is available build on here is very limited. We have what is called the “green belt”; that is essentially all the countryside outside towns and cities. To build in the Green Belt is extremely difficult - effectively I,possible without central Government getting involved. So, limited land and a growing number of people wanting homes, is a great equation for high density, low quality houses. The second factor is the local planning authorities. In my experience of just one such authority, it is a wonderful mix of incompetence and stupidity. The LPA has to kow-tow to big developers because those big developers will fight and fight with unlimited resources whilst the LPA has little money. However, to small developers or individuals, the LPA feels able to throw their limited wisdom and unlimited incompetence and stop anything that they happen to dislike - certainly anything different “it’s different from other houses in the locality”. So, overwhelmingly, you get small and large estates of new homes crammed into “brownfield” ( meaning previously industrial) sites and limited agricultural land within the boundaries of the towns. Planning seems very different in all aspects over here. You have limited development possible (Permitted Development Act) without having to go through the whole formal planning system; however, our LPA has a great record of giving planning permission accompanies by the withdrawal of planning permission. They did that for our house; so, to build a canopy over our front door, which cannot be seen from any other house, we have to pay up and apply for formal permission. Actually, the theory of our planning control is correct; if there were no control ( as was the case earlier in the 20th century) people will build what they like, where they like. The reason our planning system doesn’t work is widely agreed by planning professionals, expert solicitors and barristers, is that the Laws are always badly written plus the lack of competence within the LPAs.

I totally agree! Thanks for watching.

Thanks for sharing.

They're amazing.

Good question. IDK
