It's a great (if tragic) demonstration of the limits of human governance. We cannot do long-term (let alone multi-generational) planning.

But, if you want a responsive, accountable political system, you cannot also maintain enclaves of extreme wealth, power and privilege. People wouldn’t put up with it.
