In Europe, as it's a land of a lot of history, we are used to preserve landmarks and restore buildings, houses. Not in the US.
Which way is the best? I don't know ; there are pros and cons in each choice.
In Phoenix Arizona, the city council and the Frank Loyd Wright Foundation are struggling to preserve a house built by this architect in the thirties for his son. For the moment the house is the property of a building company who wants to raze the house to build a housing estate.
It's like if in France if we decide to raze a Le Corbusier's building.
In august, in Phoenix, this same town, an ancient well known hotel with an interesting architecture was demolished to have a parking lot near the arena convenient for the basketball games.
Sometimes they let also buildings falling into ruins. Each state has is ghost towns.
