There aren't many tall buildings in Norway. High-rise residential apartments are definitely not a thing in Oslo yet. There're some swanky new apartments in the city centre by the waterfront. But most apartments and houses are old, and many date back to the 1930s. Of course you could demolish an old house and rebuild, subject to agreement by the city council, area committees and immediate surrounding neighbors. Extensive renovation and refurbishment work would be involved too.
On the tram one afternoon passing by a stretch of road, I stared out in fascination at the houses along the row. I said, "These houses are very big!" The girlfriend grinned. "They are also very old and cold." She continued and I erupted in laugher. She made a rhyming thingy that was both corny and cool. We definitely have been frequenting corn fields a wee bit much. So it goes like this, and I've been told to sign off jointly as B.N. Bold.

These houses are very big.
They are also very old and cold.
If truth be told, they are full of mold.
They will not fold,
Though how long they will hold can't be foretold.
Standing on land worth more than gold.
Bam goes the hammer, the land is sold.
