Q. How is it that so little can be done to reverse many of the major problems of the day? Housing or the cities, for example.
A. “Well, everything that goes on is done either by government or money making businesses. Both the money-makers and the politicos have to show something for a profit, either the political profit or the money profit in a short run of a couple of years or they lose their jobs. So all the things that need to be done don’t get done. Politicians are merchants of woe, they get elected to do something about all the things that are bothering people and so the more woe they have the more issues. So they take up housing as an issue rather than as a problem.”
Q. The situation is not being met with problem-solving techniques?
A. “The building arts are 5,000 years behind the engineering and technology of the aerospace sciences. If you go to the island of Crete you will find water still running through the plumbing and we have the same system 3,400 years later. No improvements have been made with the exception of a few”
