This article talks as if all that matters is economics. What about the pyschological effects that seeing the FT go up will have on everyone?
That's true. The Freedom Tower is being built basically to restore the city's skyline with an "iconic" tower, its not about economics. Which is why everyone was suggesting that Silverstein forget about profits and just build the tower. Now with the PA involved, suddenly everyone wants to just look at the pricetag.

The tower will be built as planned.
