The law has since, however, been reconsidered and it may next year be repealed. If so, great numbers of the buildings will be renovated or large real estate interests will buy up the buildings for new construction. While this may make the city newer and give its inhabitants more ideal residences, many of hundreds of buildings over a hundred years old will be no more.
不過這項法律經過討論之後，可能會在明年廢除，屆時難保屋主不會大加翻修，或由財團大筆收購加以改建，如此一來，雖然市容將獲更新，居民也有更理想的居住環境，但數以百計的百年古宅卻也不再。
