They needed workers. They hired Frank Loyd Wright to build huge buildings to house workers arriving mainly from the south.
The huge apartments went up very quickly.
There were few regulations. I imagine it was like the way China puts up huge projects.
After the war, a lot of the workforce moved on to greener pastures. America used to have a lot of good blue collar jobs.
The apartments are now used as Section 8 housing.
Jump ahead to today. The town of Sausalito didn't like looking at low income Anchor-Outs. They didn't mind when Paul Allen moored in then same spot for months though on his mega-yacht. The town basically hired some dig bat who was related to a town council member to spit out a study on the dangers these Anchor-outs are doing to the Ell grass in Richardson bay. The town used that "cooked" study to confiscate boats, and crush them. The low income people basically went from boat dwellers to living in tents in Dunphy Park. I'm sorry about my tone, but I don't like it when authorities abuse their power, especially when it comes to the low income.
We needed ships.
The government went in and built a huge shipyard. They hired private contractors, and built 24/7.
