I suspect at this point that continuing to build is about something else. The Morses are investing a considerable amount of money in acquiring and developing the new areas. I would guess they could have watched that money and been able to maintain a very, VERY good lifestyle for several hundred years for ALL of them and their descendants.
It may be power. It may be risk taking. It may be showing a belief that a private business can do better than a government agency in building and running a small city. It may be building a legacy. It may be their jab at leaving a lasting chapter in history...or it could be about the money.

NO Not Bitter at all. Just the facts. I have been around long enough to see how things work. I grew up in this area. Work in this area, wife works in this area.
Just dont understand why some folks get pulled into the trance of it is just a myth of how things go.
Power and Money
Michael Douglas said in the movie Wall Street 2, Money Never SLeeps. Greed is good.
Nothing wrong at all with it, as long as you admit to it. Do not hide and act like you have no idea.
As long as you build it, they will come. Greed that is.
And as always,, JMOP
