Why did it take so long?

For years I looked out of my office window at the view of Faliro Bay and despaired at the pitiful and filthy state of the seafront, wondering: How can we be so incapable of making use of something so wonderful?

2015 seems so distant now. I wonder if Greece will ever go through a similar experience, if it will ever come to the brink of catastrophe again. Greek history is littered with instances of near-collapse.
