“Glenn Beck identified something like 50k sq. ft. of available space in Manhattan.”
50K sq.ft. is just slightly more than 1 acre.
My bad. It was a little more than that:
GB transcript: “Gov. Paterson now said on Tuesday the developers of the mosque near Ground Zero might consider moving the project and even floated the idea of offering them state land farther from Ground Zero. Why, they just did that for my church the other day. Oh, no wait. No, they didn’t.
Apparently, though, the developers of the Park 51 mosque project just can’t find any other place in Manhattan or New York, because everything is totally full. Totally occupied. Yes.
I had my staff look for about 10 minutes today. And we only found oh, I don’t know 57.7 million square feet of available space on the island. That’s it.”
How many acres is 57.7 million aquare feet?
