Probably has more to do with the fact that society on the whole tends to build more than it destroys.

More value is created over time than lost.

More _economic_ value, sure. But at what cost to the environment, biodiversity, our dwindling resources, societal health, our psyches?

When does this become unsustainable?

It's not even close to being unsustainable now and it may ultimately remain sustainable for timescales that are difficult for us to relate to.
