@marlboromaam they have quite the fights in Miami Beach over saving the old homes. In Ft. Lauderdale and points north, most of the homes didn't get old enough to become historical. There are still some homes from the 70's and a smattering from the 60's, but I noticed big changes this year.
@danette I can understand the plain ranch style homes from the 60s and 70s, but not for the ones with Spanish or Mediterranean features. Some had such super floors and wonderfully shaped windows and doors. Hate that!
