Rarely do I comment on opinion, because they are what they are, an opinion. To draw credibility one needs to reflect on the headline and counter an alternative headline. How should have the leadership of the city communicated such a complex issue to a population of 4 million? This does not mean that the opinions raised do not have merit, however, there are more deep rooted questions to be answered. For example how do you go about preparing a society for change? What is the status of the engineer or scientist in society? Infrastructure that may take decades to plan and build, how much more so it is to change society. Projects and design standards that are rooted to affordability, is a constant and enduring challenge. How do you communicate what may be worthwhile for future generations, which is not affordable to current generations. Day Zero situations are part of humanities history and part of humans ability to adapt.  Failure clearly has its benefits, but I agree, too much is not a good thing.
