Just because?There is a glut of office space in lower Manhattan now and there was one when the Towers were standing. A good portion of the Towers were vacant and the Port Authority could not get tenants (they won't admit it but I can assure you it was so). These days you are not going to get anyone willing to occupy a floor above, lets say, 50 or 60 so any structure above that would be wasted space. I say they should put up buildings that will be practical. The time to "show-up the terrorists" has past because since things have taken so long just to get this far the impact has been lost. The families of the 9/11 victims will never agree on what should be built because most don't want anything to be built there at all. They prefer an open air memorial with nothing above it. I do not agree with their assessment that it is a cemetary since there is nothing left (at least nothing we can see) of what you would find in a cemetary - bodies. |
