It's highly unlikely the tower (or any WTC tower) will get chopped down that much. I mean, the first New WTC design consisted of the Freedom Tower and 3 other "block-like" buildings.
And then years later, they moved on to the current design, which added numerous floors to the proposed 2,3,4 WTC.
Now they are deducting floors from the 3WTC as well as the X bracing. It seems like they are trying to cut back on a few things. And as you said, they're making it look like they are going back to "squat boxes", but it wouldn't be fair to give up on this design that the public wanted so badly. Right?

Can we just be patient and wait for the towers to be finished? I bet when it is, you (and the others) won't be complaining. Trust me. I mean, look at the former 4, 5 and 6 WTC. They are practically 9 story buildings. We are lucky to have
any building more than that height, even if they are "squat boxes".
