While the public fumes at the big profits, most experts have defended the high earnings claiming that they finance further exoration.

The eccentric souls who argued that new is not necessarily better no longer have to prostrate themselves before bulldozers to make their point. They have been joined by civic leaders, foundations, architects and businessmen who can cite scores of projects in which outmoded buildings have been rehabilitated and have in many cases revitalized moribund inner-city districts...
