Sounds great.
Believe it or not, Art Deco and Moderne were actually fairly popular in Lubbock during the 30s and 40s. There are some great examples there that go begging on the market. The reason is that they are now in “bad” neighborhoods, ie too many brownish folk. The yokels therefore prefer newly built housing. New=white. I am convinced that white flight is at least as important as population growth in promoting the endless expanses of shoddy tract houses and ghastly mcmansions. The jokes on them, their gimcrack boxes will be long gone in a hundred years, while yours and mine will probably be standing proudly in their second and third centuries..

One can only hope, I guess.
