Daquan, what you just did was pull a "straw man."

Definition: The arguer makes up a proposition never offered by their opponent (usually weaker than the true proposition) and then attacks it as if their opponent had offered that proposition. This is most common on Internet chat sites.

Did Cuozzo mention anything at all about the Twin Towers? No. Let me guess, as soon as you saw him say anything about impeeding the progress of the FT you immediately labelled him a "Freedom Tower hater" and decided not to actually read the article and think a little bit.

So, try again: re-read the article and comment on the substance of his argument. Does he not have a point that if holding off for a little while will mean the FT will have more value and perhaps won't have to be subsidized so much? Or is that premise flawed somehow? Does he not make another good point in that private tenants don't want to rent space in a "World Trade Center" where 70% of the tenants are wasteful bureaucrats? If Douglas Durst, an MVP-calibre developer if there ever was one, says doing these things hurts the value of the tower, don't you care about that?

Oh, that's right, none of that matters.. just "build the Freedom Tower!!" and everything else be damned. Given your recklessness towards this incredibly sensitive matter, I'm almost inclined to label you a... Freedom Tower hater!
