Generally, the only thing that ever collapses
over our heads is sixties and seventies tower
blocks. And they aren't missed.

Forgive me for butting in, but it seems to me
like you read her completely wrong. You
"snipped" half of what she said, took it out of
context, and misconstrued her meaning.

"Does Paris have churches, taverns, and
houses that are, like, five hundred years old,
every time you turn a corner? I always liked
finding those," she said. Sounds to me like
she shares your view.
