This was a very balanced take.

But I don't understand why people make such a fuss about some cities losing prominence and eventually crumbling from a previous period of wealth. This happens as history and technology progress.

I don't see how wealth is lost when it is just being redistributed. The workers didn't disappeared, they are just living elsewhere, bringing business opportunities and improving across many different places. Perhaps it will be healthier for the economy as a whole than having only a handful of cities as beacons of investment.
