Hiroshima was nuked and is now a thriving city. We can't turn cities into mausoleums after a tragedy.

The good news is that (for now at least), no affordable housing activist groups have objected to moving along this project by 2024.
Construction will probably still not happen until the middle portion of 2024 at the earliest, since funds for affordable housing will continue to be sought until April 2024.
It will be interesting to see how construction proceeds at the site of 5 WTC. Probably one of the first steps (after removing all the planters on the sidewalk, removing all the police and civilian vehicles off the site, moving in construction equipment and then fencing off the site to pedestrians) will be to tear up the asphalt parking lot and dig up the ground underneath before steel installation can begin.
This process will probably be similar for the process at the site of Two WTC if/when construction on Two WTC begins.
We can't turn cities into mausoleums after a tragedy.
Amen to this. Allowing terrorists to eternally damn our land adds insult to injury. We built a modest memorial after the '93 bombing without forsaking the WTC plaza or hotel.
