Drew,

Of course they are making the same mistakes, only moreso.  When development hinges so much on ego, political careers, home-run investments in land speculation, and limited vision restricted only to the criteria and assumptions of the dominant megalomaniacal, megalopolitan perspective, no other result is possible.
