Actually, I think he got seduced by power
That is probably it...........the guru who could do no wrong and very smart people who should have known better were "drunk" with his pizazz and were afraid to contradict him

The Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família (official Catalan name; Spanish: Templo Expiatorio de la Sagrada Familia; "Expiatory Temple of the Holy Family"), often simply called the Sagrada Família, is a massive, privately-funded Roman Catholic church that has been under construction in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain since 1882 and is not expected to be complete until at least 2026. Considered the master-work of renowned Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí (1852–1926), the project's vast scale and idiosyncratic design have made it one of Barcelona's (and Spain's) top tourist attractions for many years. A portion of the building's interior is scheduled to open for public worship and tours by September of 2010[1].

<<Why did Greenspan act in such a reckless way?>>

Yes, exactly. What is happening now is no black swan. This was widely predicted.
I remember wondering at the time "What is this guy up to? Surely he knows what he is creating."
I'm not sure that this was an accident.
