I recently took the trains around Romania, learning about the country's history.One thing I saw was the trend of either tearing down or not preserving the old architecture.It appears that the goal is to fashion renovations to fit tourists' expectations for traditional Romanian culture but not always the practical needs of the communities.Central squares, for example, which have always served as local meeting places, have literally been taken over by visitors & commercial chains, thereby completely altering their econ, political & social purposes.Many I met wanted a reallocation of govt funds.
