I think it would depend on the type of vine... if they are the kind that wrap themselves around parts of the structure to grow (like shutters, eaves, window frames, downspouts), they may be concerned about that damage. But if they are the kind that grow by tendrils on the brick, it's just an old wives tale that they destroy houses.

The sheer weight of a vine could be a problem also, but not likely for a masonry wall.
