That legacy is clearly visible today as one walks downtown, with its many repurposed mills as modern residential units and canals surrounded by restaurants and nightlife. 

Good Evening Everyone,I am interested in getting some opinions about the potential market modern homes in the Mount Olive/Gardendale submarket in Alabama.  

Makes the home appear more modern.

If it's in a state of disrepair - holes, cracks, peeling throughout the house - cut your losses and replace it all with modern gypsum board.

You must check deed restrictions (HOA) but otherwise you'll just be pulling permits to check that the work completed is safe and to minimum modern building standards. 

Scandinavia and even modern China are great examples of countries which have elements of socialism but incorporate varying degrees of competition and capitalism - in fact one could argue modern China is more capitalistic than modern America is (at the very least in a dystopian sense).Then we must ask, does pure capitalism work?

I was on a State of CA steering committee in the mid 80s working on what to do with all these antiquated subdivisions through out america that if you used modern zoning and entitlement process's would never be approved.. the poster child was Lehigh acres and we have a big conference there with folks from all over the US.. 

Matt, If you are looking at historically built properties such as your classic bungalows, 2-flat and 3-flats in Chicago, many of those properties were built well before the modern zoning code was established.

The house was much the same as it was when it was built, buy today it's a modern house.
