Reply #15: Not building would wrong New Yorkers. [View All]

I don't know if you are familiar with the area, but "Ground Zero" spreads over several acres. And tens, maybe hundreds, of thousands of people lost employment when that acreage was attacked. New Yorker cannot afford to let that much ground NOT be built on.

So (as an eyewitness to the collapse of the towers) I sympathize with the families of victims, but I sympathize with other New Yorkers as well. While certainly some part of the site should be set aside as a memorial, most of those acres need to be used for commercial purposes for the sake of LIVING New Yorkers.
