I'd rather have nothing than what they're building, Chris. It's a terrible design. It was designed by an egghead architect who really doesn't have a lot of experience of designing something like this. And it's just a terrible design.
It's wrong angles. I mean, the worst of all, it's a skeletal building. And you know, if you look at it, what is it really? It's a 60-story building with a skeleton on top of it because you've got 40 or 50 stories with nothing in between.
And it's a disgusting design that we're going to have to live with for many, many years in New York, and actually in the world, because New York City is so international. And it doesn't represent what we want to have represented.
Since we are critiquing design, which is totally subjective in the design world, I don’t like it either, but I always thought the twin towers looked like two kit kats and did nothing for the skyline.
