This is all so ridiculous. Yes so much can be done quickly if you take chances, ignore worker protections, cut corners, and do things like they used to be done back in the day.

Let's take this Marinship as one small example of why almost everything on the page is probably not relevant today:

> Physical construction began on 28 March. Construction start was delayed two weeks to allow the 42 families living on Pine Point, which was scheduled to be demolished to build the shipyard, to move."

So 'delayed two weeks to allow 42 families to move'. Can you imagine what would happen now or even 20 years ago? It would be tied up in courts (including the court of public opinion) for years even decades. Lawsuits filed, legal challenges and so on. (see 'Blue Route' in Philadelphia) [1]
