Back in the 1930s we were OK with a bunch more dead people.

It took the Empire State Building 600 days to design, permit and build in the 1930s Today, just to get a permit in Seattle for a mid rise apartment building takes you 900 days

Only 5 died in the construction of it. I think 80 died in the 70s building the WTC with all the modern permitting timelines I’m complaining about. I think ESB had 3,400 workers on it too
