Again, the world is declining in entropy.
“No Margin; No mission”.
Perhaps, if there had been an admission charge, then the place might have survived.
Sad to see the beautiful places being absorbed by crass materialism.
The people are robbed by the fiat currency system such that they have no wealth left to donate to the beautiful places.
Where and when does it all grind to a halt?
