Replacement costs should be built into the current business accounting model of the company or governmental unit that owns it. They only need to add on the cost of acquiring land to build future versions, instead of rebuilding in the current place.

It's certainly not "free", but maybe not incalculable or astronomical. But the planning needs to start. And we don't have an administration that is capable.
