re: #143 HoosierHoops

Well, some of the victims families were quite angry that any office space was going up inside the 16 acres of Ground Zero for precisely that reason. I’m sure some are angry still. More are angry that nothing was built for years - no design at all. Some will probably be upset with the memorial design that is actually nearing completion (and I have my doubts that the fountain/waterfall system will work as advertised).

Personally, I think the whole notion of running the street grid through the site was a horrible mistake because that space would be better put to use as memorial/museum land, rather than a street that will never see vehicular traffic precisely because of its proximity to the towers contemplated for the site (and don’t expect Vesey to reopen to vehicular traffic because of the narrowness of the street based on the configuration of the Freedom Tower at West Street).
