The city with nation's oldest and largest collections of historical structures cannot afford the tens of millions of dollars needed to acquire and preserve them.
"Here, in the nation's oldest city, [St. Augustine, FL.,] history has become a burden.
[The locals] are fiercely proud that their city, founded by Spanish conquistadors in 1565, is the oldest, continuously occupied settlement of European origin in North America.
...This place has so much history, so many surviving structures of historical significance, not to mention undiscovered buried artifacts, that experts say it could take tens of millions of dollars for the city to acquire and preserve them all."
