Rebuild them. I just can't stand to play Max Payne and see how it shows a place that is supposed to be NY "today" which have the twin towers.
And perhaps that Duke Nukem Forever will be able to reach the shelves after that.

I would rebuild one of the 110-story towers. The other half of the site would be used as a sort of memorial park. There's a message there: We have rebuilt, but we shall also *always* remember those who died. The new tower would be a sign of recovery and moving on, while the park would serve as a testament to the horrible day that Sept. 11, 2001, turned out to be.

If I had my way, it'd be a 110-story building, in the shape of a giant fist, with the middle finger erect.

But the land's private property, so the owner should do with it whatever he pleases (as long as it complies with zoning ordinances and building codes). It's the American way.

^^^True, but if the landowner has an iota of sense about him, he'll be more than happy to use some of that land as a memorial. If not, I hope ghosts haunt his every waking and sleeping hour.

Suffering from ads?

The towers contained ten percent of all the office space in Manhatten. That needs to be replaced. The Port Authority needs the money the rent on the site generated. While I really like the idea that a large memorial should be built, New York needs to replace the Towers as best they can. Still, some sort of memorial should go there.

rebuild them. it's the only thing to do.

there's been rumors of new regulations as to the height of buildings (for evac. purposes), but i think the only way to show american resiliance would be to rebuild them just as they were.

They really ought to be rebuilt. Let's not forget that they were an important part of NY's economy; it needs the office space and such. By all means build a memorial of some kind to those who died, but rebuild the towers as well (make them bigger, though).

You could always rebuild them and put a big bulls eye there. Like we did with the Azrieli towers.
