i think the fugly glass 'freedom tower' is just tacky.
trump rebuilding the towers doesn't make much sense to me, you want to build the same thing? didn't we see how that turned out?
as for building nothing there, well that doesn't make sense either. it's a tiny island with zero room to expand. there's plenty of open office space around town right now, but who's to say that ten years from now that space won't be looking mighty nice.
i can see the 'it's a graveyard - don't build there' side of things. i just happen to favor the 'life goes on around you' side.
personally, i have never been down there. i lived in nyc for two years before and for two years after, and never once was i tempted to go have a look. and no, i can't see why someone feels compelled to go. i have no desire to relive that day or the emotions of that day.
