Honestly, I don't see it coming down anytime soon. People have jobs. People are working. People have shiny new places to go spend money at. And that money helps pay the salaries at the people at the shiny new places. Remember, demolition crews employ people as do construction ones. More people employed means more people are paying taxes. More people paying taxes means the government has more money to do international investment projects in places like Africa and central asia with stuff like the silk road initiative. Meanwhile, in America, we can't even agree that crumbling 100 year old bridge that structurally deficient should be torn down. OMG! That costs too much!
