@HenryA,

I have long thought that there is a 'cycle' in action here: that the Grimm wax and wane as threats, possibly over multi-century time-frames. More importantly, as you get to the point of the cycle where the Dark is ascendent, human and faunus evil also increases in scope and intensity (as we're seeing with Roman, Cinder and the White Fang's newfound militantcy).

Either civilisation survives the Dark of the Moon or it doesn't. The ruins near Beacon suggest that, in the past, human civilisation has fallen during the time of Dark Ascendency before and has had to be rebuilt from scratch.
