New York Times organizes effort to slow start of new 9/11 building.  | |  No citizens have demanded a redesign. Only the developer, who empowered police anxieties, is pushing to delay and re-design. Now the NYT issues an edict declaring a non-existent effort to be misguided. They invite all publicity-seekiers into a media spotlight, provided that they will help slow construction until more office space is leased. Not one civic group is demanding any change to the design.

Building on Ground Zero
Published: May 7, 2005
Now that architects have begun rethinking the Freedom Tower to deal with security concerns, there are some people who see this as a chance to redo the entire plan for rebuilding ground zero. That would be a mistake, a waste of precious time and formidable talent.
Any grand and complicated venture like this cannot go from the sketch pad to reality without adjustments. This project is a multiphased evolution, and one that must be carefully and energetically monitored - by the public, by Mayor Michael Bloomberg and especially by Gov. George Pataki.

| | | | | | 1.  linepau1 (158) | 3 years ago |  I'm really not to familiar with the Freedom Towers design. I probably should be, being from Canada, and having so many friends in the New York area online, but I really have to say that after all this time, JUST build it already.
They've spent so much time arguing over what should replace ground zero, and if no one else is complaining, especially in the city, just build it. It doesn't matter what sort of building it is, if terrorists wish to strike it, it'll be hit. Security concerns or not. It'll be a hundred years before they make their adjustments and tweaks on the design before the Tower is actually built.
Personally, I would have liked the park idea. But that doesn't really matter.

| Islesfan079 (20) | 3 years ago |  Wait, are you saying Fox News is fair and balanced? You must be kidding, they're as biased a media source as I've ever seen.
