    On the other hand it is very interesting to see the cycle of urban development and decay but in a non-physical space

      True, it’s been really interesting to see it replicated at alarming speeds. Monopolizing happening on time frames of a decade that previously took a century. It’s tough to get people to understand systems that move at a glacial pace. The ocean taking a foot of beach a year can be ignored for a lifetime, etc. The rapid pace of things on the internet, the very pace that enabled all that “fast money” make it easier for people to track degradation in real time.
