	The I.L.W.U. got a choice redevelopment property on Franklin Street atop Cathedral Hill, where the Harry Bridges Memorial Building now stands, home to the union, its library, and its pension fund. Individual longshoremen got homes in [[The ILWU and Western Addition Redevelopment A-2\|co-op apartments built by the Redevelopment Agency]] in the Western Addition, and the Port Commission made available a South Beach lot for the I.L.W.U.'s Clerks Local 34. This is not to insinuate that any corruption was necessarily involved in this. Rather, this kind of deal-making is the quintessence of modern capitalism's ability to propel itself, absorbing and redirecting oppositional movements.
