Lack of history.
In LA I've been told that old buildings are demolished to build new ones.
Something 50 years old is an historic landmark there.

While we don't have nearly as cool old architecture like other continents, buildings/houses from the 70s are all over. I think most historic buildings tend to be closer to 100+ years old, which is almost half the age of the country.
