Doma Laukums (Dom Square) is getting smaller. Somebody who owns the land here, has decided that is more profitable to build a building instead to keep open space.
Living places in Vecriga are very expensive, they are comparable to world major cities like London, Paris, Moscow.
But actually, just 75 years ago Dom Square wasn't a square :) It was just a street, with 1-2 levels wooden houses.
Take a look to Riga Cathedral aka Riga Dom.
