I understand why this has to be done but the original timeline is insane, how does it take multiple years to basically pile up dirt? They built the Empire State Building in just over ONE year and it'll take 2 years to shovel fucking dirt and redo some lawns? This is why people get enraged, it's absolute insanity. This should be something they could finish in less than a year by starting in the autumn and do all the groundwork before freeze conditions. If you go in and tell people say goodbye to your park for literally 3 summers (we know it'll be delayed past 2025), of course they're gonna be upset

(the union doesnt just protect workers by making sure the pay and benefits and safety are good. They also make sure each project takes a while. cant go running out of work)

At the same time the high costs prevent more projects from being approved
