Err, I pointed out it was someone else who did this because they desired to do more with my property than I was doing with it. It happens all the time, especially in China, but it does happen in the USA as well.

In fact it can happen when a tornado destroys your house too. A very large fraction of growth involves some aspect of destroying prior property, even though the prior property is still productive. I do this all the time. I grow crops with typical "productive" lifespans of 20 years or so. They are still producing well when I send a bulldozer down the row. I do so, because I can do even better by replacing them, yet I'm assuredly destroying a productive asset in the process.

This isn't a difficult concept.
