Mr. Silverstein, backed by billions of dollars in insurance money he received from his lease on the twin towers, has already constructed one office building adjacent to the site. So far, he has not announced a major tenant. If he continues
to demand that the site provide anything like the 10 million square feet of office space lost with the twin towers, he will be
serving his own needs more than the community's or even at this point, the market's. The World Trade Center site must
be a treasured public space and a critical piece of a renewed community, not just another huge commercial development
looming over a few public amenities.
