Okay guy's, we need to seperate a couple of issues here. I think my user name might tell you what i do for a living.
First,
Trump can run his trap all he wants. So can the city of New York and everyone else. In the end the only person that matters is the property owner (Silverstein). He's not to fond of Libeskind's idea either, but has already stated that he wil not rebuild a duplicate.
And good for him for doing so. The site needs something new, preferably not dripping with so much symbolism that it's sugary.
You guys can wish for what you want till the cows come home, but not even the governer or president can step in an impede the 99 year lease from the port authority that is in place.
I have no problem with the new tower. But as someone who has sat in the same room and listended to Libeskind drone on for hours, will someone please pop his head for me?
To be honest, I though the twin towers where horrendus the first day I saw them. Their monolithic prescence created an odd social environment in downtown that disrupted the movement of people and the urban fabric that had existed for hundreds of years in manhatten.
