New modern lights and ceiling fans, quality furniture, Big screen TVs (not so expensive anymore), big washer and dryer, one of those cool refrigerators.If you ever go stay in a nice hotel or nice airbnbs, try to pick up on some of the things they do to make it feel luxurious. 

Wanted to get buildings with more modern amenities, more up to date, and more appealing to people today.7.

To name a few elements; this technology withstands flooding, wildfires, and modern day attacks.
