It's easy to recount certain aspects of TV shows that you grew up with. "Family Matters" had Urkel and his wacky inventions while "Ren and Stimpy" constantly had the two animal siblings take on wild adventures. These aspects, to put it simply, stick with you and I feel like the same can be said for the house in "The Brady Bunch." It's one of the most iconic homes in the history of sitcoms and I feel like doing anything to change it aesthetically via downtown development would be a crime.
When an episode of "The Brady Bunch" started or came back after a commercial, viewers usually found themselves greeted by the familiar far angle of the house. What many people may not realize, though, is that the house itself is in Los Angeles, California. Rumor has it that the actual family who lived there would often be greeted by trespassers, who tried to peak in the windows to see what they would watch on television. This is just one example of the wild history the house contains.
The history that the Brady house possesses alone should be all of the reason necessary to turn away downtown development. The house is not in any unstable condition and it has not been falling apart, either. From its time in the 60's, the home in question has held together well. I would only accept this idea for the house if it was truly beginning to collapse on itself. Organizations such as B.A.B.B. operate in order to bring towns and certain areas back to more feasible conditions and I would be in total support of this kind of development in that case.
I don't feel like the Brady home is going to drop much in the way of popularity. For example, "The Brady Bunch Movie" was released in 1995 and it was, for all intents and purposes, a satirical take on how the family would be in the 90's. The fact that the hip 70's family could exist in a totally separate era was hilarious and the film gained critical acclaim. Every aspect of the Bradys, from the home down to the overall aesthetic the family is known for, has been respected.
I feel like respect is the one word that should be taken into account in order for downtown development not to take place on the Brady house. It is, to put it simply, a piece of history. It shouldn't have to be altered or changed in any way because it would be about the same as defacing a national park that's been around for decades. Some things simply stand the test of time and, I'm sure like the Brady house, do not deserve to be changed so drastically.
