    Default The new trump towers???

    Ok so I was alright with the planned renewal of "ground zero".

    Im ok with the grass,tree's,birds and bees concept they had planned.

    But then i saw this twist.....

    http://aolsvc.news.aol.com/news/arti...00010000000001

    Loks like Mr Trump has a new plan.

    I dunno about his timing.

    But I think I may be ok with the concept of comming back "bigger and better".

    Any thoughts??

    I saw this on tv last night. He's just stating his opinion like other New Yorkers have that they want the original skyline. I guess there's been safety complications with the "freedom tower". He doesn't want to make it his own, just adding his opinion. I agree with his opinion that it should be rebuilt.

    I can't get to the article, but I have heard that there are safety concerns about the Freedom Tower.
    If it is decided to build towers like the Twins in their place, I still think the NY skyline will forever be changed in people's minds.

    I live in NYC, and my bf has lived here 20 years, he saw the second plane hit. He knew people who died on 9/11. I have to say after living here the last 2 years I understand the pain more now. How personal it is to NY'ers.
    I'm with Trump, rebuild the Twin Towers, bigger and stronger. A big "fuck you" to the terrorists. I never liked the Freedom Tower design, it was lame.

    I'm from NY. I was in NY when 9/11 happened, and yes, I know/knew people who were in the towers, or who are/were firefighters and EMTs involved in the aftermath.

    I personally think that they should make it a memorial building of lesser stature, or a memorial park. Nothing tall, so it can be hit a THIRD time.

    Sheeez.

    YES, I am still a loyal NYer in my heart. And YES I love my city and state with all my heart... but to rebuild something that's been hit twice in less than 10 years? Ummm.. no. And honestly, I've heard a lot of NYers who are as less than keen about rebuilding as I am. Who would really feel 100% safe resuming life there? I dunno. I really just dislike the idea all together.

    9/11 hit many people different ways.
    I was in MD and wasnt in DC that day,but 4 family members were,and I had to drive bye and see what happened to the pentagon hours after it happened on my way home.
    Crazy stuff,and I mean no disrespect to your feelings.

    But you said "lesser stature".

    I think thats what has me torn on this.

    I would expect us to rebuild the pentagon,bigger and better and not so much as a place for mourning and nothing close to "lesser stature".

    My heart tells me to do the same at ground zero or at least vote in favor for it.

    I only got to spend one night in glorious Manhattan. I got to walk by the WTC site on the way to the Pussycat Lounge.
    I can only imagine how New Yorkers feel about the plans to memorialize/ re-build. Their opinions should be first and foremost.
    However, there is the issue of valuable Manhattan real estate. Many powerful people want to see that space used in a commercial sense.

    Not trying to take anything away from anyone,but I think this is bigger then just the Americans in New York.

    mucho mucho peso's!!!
    Even more then before because of the Trump proposed "Bigger and better"building,more footage for rent.

    Being a DJ, i cant help but to find the humor in the fact that it will be the only two buildings in the city where the rent goes UP the closer you get to the ground level exits instead of vise versa.

    Heres a crazy idea...

    What if Tax dollars were used to build Trumps idea??
    The money spent would be returned in a few years and then it would produce as much money in rents as some of our commonwealths.
    It would be secured as a national park,so security would be federal as would maintnece and upkeep of the building.
    The goverment running a big time profitable national park.

    Lol crazy huh???

    With all the red tape,it would take 50 years to build and cost 20 times what Trump can do it for now in 5 years.

    The more i hear,the more i like it.
    I just wish there was a way for America to profit from that piece of historical land and not some private company or individual.(no offense trump)

    I personally think that trying to profit from it is wrong. Honor it. Remember it. Dont use what happened as a cash cow. It's gonna be blood money in a way, after all.

    I see your point and if the money went to a trump or a private company,I would agree 100%.

    But what if the funds were used for the fire department in the city?
    Or a good federal social program??
    Hell,use it to build Ronald MacDonald houses next to every childrens hospital in the country.
    Theres got to be a way of spending the money on something other then executive jets.
    What if the funds could put a new fire truck in every volunteer fire department in the country over the course of 5 years?
    Wouldnt that be honoring them?

    Your right though,crazy idea with to much crap in the way for it to ever happen.
