Dear Mayor Bloomberg:

With every wrong turn taken and with every day wasted persisting in
travel down the wrong paths,the case for completely discarding the
products of the misguided official planning process for the World
Trade Center rebuilding grows stronger,not weaker.You do yourself no
credit in standing as firmly as you can for preventing the correction
of mistakes!

No election in which those in charge of the machinery conspired to
rule the most popular candidate ineligible for nomination or election
can be called fair and nothing excuses allowing its results to stand.

That the official public poll authorized in the planning process was
easily won by "neither" of the two designated finalists,and the site
plan chosen was the one that finished last clearly demonstrates that
the priorities insisted upon by those in charge are not the priorities
of New Yorkers or Americans.

It is new WTC Towers representing no retreat whatsoever from the scale 
of the old that truly represents the aspirations of the largest part 
of the public and most effectively honors those who were slaughtered.

To combine the office space into fewer,taller towers on the WTC Site
leads to greater efficiency in the use of resources and land,and greater
safety and efficiency in the resulting structures.And this is the only
way to send an essential symbolic statement that posterity will not
forgive us for failing to make,and future terrorists will be encouraged
by even our hesitation to make.

That the new World Trade Center be centered on towers every bit as tall 
and large as those destroyed is more important than the extension of any 
streets into or through the site,more important than "active enlivened 
street life",and certainly more important than encouraging the disturbingly 
rapid growth of the population of Downtown.All these issues must be given 
lower priority than the creation of a new center that unambiguously 
reaffirms what was destroyed rather than capitalizing on an act of mass 
murder to continue the killers' work of changing the area's character.

To take into account any short-term fears of occupying the highest floors
of gigantic new towers is a particularly reprehensible empowerment of the
terrorists and should have no place in a development that must be very
publicly and unmistakably fearless.Make these buildings marvels of safety
and have faith in the future of freedom.
