You know the old saying "I hate to tell you so..."...

not me... I told you so!!!

It's on record here at FR...

I called for between 4 and 6 shorter buildings and Memorial Parks on the "foot-prints!!!"

Relax, there are no "owe sie's", afterall even a blind hog finds an acorn, once in a while!!!

I wasn't trying to stack the deck. A claim was made that the majority of New Yorkers don't want the Towers rebuilt, or anything else tall down there, and I just pinged a few NYers I have met personally. I know there's a few Sacred Grounders around, my uncle's one of them. I just disagree with him (and with you too sweetie--but at least you don't want the whole sixteen acres, and aren't averse to building something commercial).

The problem with a park, Nitro, is that people love the idea of them and hate the reality of them. Especially as a solemn memorial they'd hate it. They like the idea of sitting on a nice bench in quiet contemplation, surrounded by attractive landscaping. But the dusk-to-dawn activities in literally all of these pocket parks are more profane than sacred, and a park at Ground Zero will unfortunately be no exception.
