    What are your thoughts on this? Is the new WTC project worth it or a big waste of money? I am leaning toward the latter. As far as I know, there really isn't a demand for this much extra office space in a $3.8 bil building in lower Manhattan and this thing would not be built but for the subsidies. Not that the construction industry doesn't need a "stimulus" but perhaps there are more useful stuff to be done (roads/bridges type infrastructure).

    Also... So, this what the Kennedy from MTV in my youth is doing....

    Don't need an Islamic community centre either. It's all symbolic.
