How do you feel about this topic?

I lived in New York when the twin towers fell, Queens to be exact but my mom's job was located in the city.

My sister coming to my elementary school and us walking home seems like just yesterday, discussing how worried we were about mom and what was going on.

My mom actually worked downtown near the site and came back home full of soot that day, tired, worried and tearing.

We watched the second building fall in the basement on our T.V., hugging each other and praying it would be the last attack

I remember the day clearly....

Now whether or not the building goes up does not directly affect my life but why there?

New York lacks space for real estate but starting up a controversial project where there will always be a soft spot in the heart of New Yorkers is never a wise action and will lead to many negative responses.
