This is pretty controversial issue at the moment, because of financial worries and the economy. Experts do say that a house should be a place for living and not as a monetary concern. As a budding architect myself I would like to think people will realise that homes should not apply stress in the economic area of one's mind and that great properties can still be designed and built all over the world. Great video by the way.

Thanks for your input, and for checking out my video.

Unity is a really special place and I was distressed to learn that it is on a Landmarks watch list because there is apparently not enough money to keep it maintained. Glad you like the setting and the video. Thanks for the comment. - Ilyce
