While I do agree with you, as the article stated, many Greek houses are considered landmarks and are therefore extremely hard to have renovated. The landmark laws prevent any major changes to the structure of the house and most facilities would require an elevator or an addition to be ADA compatible. For example, my house would be a nightmare. There are stairs to everything. It is very unfeasible in many situations.
