I like the juxtaposition of the old house with the fancy new building behind it. While I'm all for added density in these areas, I do hope some of these old homes stay. They add a neat vibe and keep some of the history. However, I guess it's appropriate to mention that not all old buildings/houses are worth keeping.

That's what I was thinking - start-ups and giving opportunities to students. In the two Thailand cities that I mentioned (and in other places like Shanghai, Hong Kong, etc., that I've been), most of the folks who frequent these are start-ups that don't necessarily want to invest in their own place yet and need to have their meetings outside of their home offices. Most are very creatively done, as well. They can function as a coffee shop/work space for the neighborhood as well as a meeting place for businesses. A lot have meeting rooms that you reserve as well. See this as an example of what I'm thinking about
