Over Populated Over Historical Sites

If I would have moved away from my hometown(Concord, NC) when I was young and went back there today I probably wouldn't even recognize the place. I'd say over the past 10-15 years there have been a countless amount of houses and neighborhoods that have been built in the city of Concord. Where I'm from I don't think that people see any importance in historical sites. They'd rather build some neighborhood with cheap houses and let the trash of North Carolina move in. I don't me to be so blunt and rude about it but I have been through these neighborhoods and seen the type of people that live there. I'm not saying they are all like this but for the most part. People are too money hungry today and have such tunnel vision that they don't give two shits about any sites that might historical.

I'm not saying at all that Concord is the father of historical sites but it still has some historical sites. One good one is Stonewall Jackson Training School(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stonewall_Jackson_Training_School .....somone is going to have to show me how to do that shit again lol). The training school is still there today but I'm afraid if these builders keep going at the rate they are and the government keeps allowing it that it will be gone too. I know that I am just speaking about my home town but from what I've seen there it leads me to believe that it is similar across the nation. There is no doubt in my mind that the American system of values plays a part in all of this. I am not saying that they encourage it but I believe that they really don't care.

If you can't gather it yet, the big point I'm trying to make is that(at least where im from) people don't care about historical sites. They are just worried about making their next dollar and building these rinky dink neighborhoods. Slowly Concord is becoming more and more over populated and it sucks. As we become more and more populated they just keep taking up more and more land which some of them are historical sites.
