I find it very hard to make up my mind about this, but I do feel that re-building is key. I also think that preservation of the "footprints" is impossible.

In terms of burying the remains at that site, I'm surprised people want to do that, but, you know, it's New York, no matter how impossible the task seems, it'll get done. It just won't get done without a lot of arguing.

It just won't get done without a lot of arguing.

It never does -- and every possible person and group will demand to have its say in it. I remember not longer after the attacks, when someone posted here on FR a sort of spoof which listed each and every person who'd insist on being consulted before one brick was put down. The list included everyone from Dennis Rivera to Randi Weingarten to Jackie Mason and so on. I fear that's not at all far from the truth.
