And yet, I find it rather ironic that, for many years prior, they never pushed to protect or clean up the old industrial sites of False Creek, Fraser Mills, or East Fraserlands from the residential developments that are now there or are slated to come in the next several years...

As far as I know the Port has never been responsible for False Creek, Fraser Mills, or East Fraserlands, those were industrial (lumber) sites. Why should the Port clean it up?
As to the Richmond Port Lands, those are for vehicles being offloaded from Japan destined for dealers across the continent, not auction. Every major port has such a lot. Better there than in Burrard Inlet.
