5 years after the hole at ground zero was created the federal and New York state governments are taking a keynesian step to help fill it up. From the NY times:
The agreements, which would cover about 1 million of the 2.6 million square feet in the building, are a significant step forward in the development of the tower, which is seen by Gov. George E. Pataki and others as a symbol of the city’s resilience, but regarded by some critics as folly.
My favorite features of the project proposal are a) the name, "Freedom Tower", which sounds like something a ficticious George Bush cartoon character would come up with b) the fact that the tower is being artifically rigged through the installment of an antenna extension to be 1,776 feet tall. This thing is just going to be oozing freedom.
