Ground Zero Intolerance?

"Last week, governors George Pataki and Jon Corzine of New York and New Jersey and Mayor Michael Bloomberg of New York City emerged into view as the Unified Front for the Liberation of Ground Zero. Presenting two "very reasonable offers" (as described in an editorial in Saturday's New York Times to Larry Silverstein, they made it appear as if the imminent redevelopment of the World Trade Center was a fait accompli, brought about by their persevering vision and sacrifice.

...Along with its general sour taste, there are many things to dislike about this latest version of the Ground Zero plan. Two elements stand particularly large. The first, and the closer it comes to reality the more it bears repeating, is Freedom Tower itself. If all goes as currently set forth, construction will begin in earnest on this building within a month. When completed, it will rise as a stark counterpoint to the new 7 World Trade Center, which is arguably architect David M. Childs' finest building."
