Peak urban real-estate, regions with good weather, clean air and water, natural resources, biodiversity etc. might be counter points. Unless we achieve fundamental breakthroughs in natural and physical sciences as well as improve basic economic incentive structures that drive corporate behaviour, our current prosperity might be short-lived. It is difficult to confidently predict how any of these things will turn out though - our way of life has undergone massive change in the last five decades than it might have anytime before that, and that pace is only accelerating.

I wouldn't say things are short lived, since the trend has been going on for thousands of years. There's definitely been some bumps in the road (some pretty big ones), but usually they are local and short (in the grand scheme of things).
