...... there sure are a lot of 75 year old homes still standing here....

I hear this folksy wisdom quite a lot, but you don't see the ones that weren't well built and maintained because......they're gone. I think there is this general (and false) perception that older homes were better built that comes from the fact that you can only see the ones that have survived. You have no reference to the vast majority of them that either fell down or were torn down because they were crap.
