Clearly, living in a city like Sacramento with its rich history expressed so well in an abundance of historical architecture, “urban core” doesn’t necessarily automatically equate with modern architecture, as many might assume. We tend to think that diverse architecture makes a city more interesting and improves the overall quality of life for everyone.
However, everyone has their own personal aesthetic for what they’d want to live in.
Last week, Steve pointed me to the Treehugger blog, which has a vote going between modern and traditional architecture.
After you cast your own vote, you can see what others think…
Last time I checked, more people leaned toward modern than traditional. I wonder if this is because so many suburbs built in the last 15 years have a pseudo-traditional veneer?

I think people no longer live the way they use to in the past, so traditional houses don’t suit their needs (space requirements etc). And thus, become more work to adapt to their needs. I also think Americans prefer “new” to “old” and modernism is seen as progressive and “new” or cutting edge.
