Our modern building practices and materials are not optimized for longevity. What incentive in modern times does a contractor have in building homes that last hundreds of years? The average person is too ignorant to know or care anyway.

That's a hard call to make. IIRC income and land taxes were each supposed to be temporary funding solutions for wars and such. On the other hand Trump had the right idea eliminating bloat but he went about it in the worst way. That way
