In my opinion, No. Many older houses are built from asbestos sheeting. If it's left alone it doesn't represent a problem. If we start breaking it up by removing it we could create enormous problems.
And that doesn't take into account the zillions of dollars involved in replacing all those old houses. Who could afford such an expense?
Prior to 1975 most insulation was made with asbestos. Many of the heat pipe or water heater wrappings contained asbestos. Asbestos inhaled into the lungs may cause mesothelioma or a number of other cancers. Hire a professional to remove it.
