I think they all suck. The towers that were there before were an instantly recognizable symbol of the city of New York. None of the options comes even close to replacing that. They are all boring re-do's of the same theme. They all lack spirit and creativity...

The twin towers that were there before, made a statement. Don'tcha think we need to make more of a statement with this, than just replacing lost retail & office space?

Re: the footprint memorial of sorts...keep it. I liked the one where one was enclosed and one was open w/greenspace. The enclosed could have a true memorial with the names of those killed, some of the debris, photos, etc.

My $.02 on the subject.
