Seven Years Later, And The WTC Site Has A Fence

This is what you get when government is involved
Visitors to the World Trade Center site will soon get a visual update on the work in progress.
The agency began wrapping the fence that surrounds the 16-acre site with vinyl mesh Sunday.
The fence wrapping will have renderings of some of the buildings being constructed at the site, like the Freedom Tower and the World Trade Center Transit Hub and it will provide information about construction progress.
Oh, good, visuals of the buidlings. It’s seven years later: how about having the actual buildings?
“A lot of tourists come down here, they don’t understand what will happen here,” said Community Board 1 member Catherine McVay Hughes. “They know there have been a lot of controversies, a lot of stories, but they want to see what is actually happening. And those photographs will let people know what is happening at the site.”
A lot of us would like to know that there is actually progress, seven years later. Which there is. Some. A bit. Including a plan to make it green.
This is still my favorite design for the new WTC.

That is the pace of gov’t, and yet 52% of the country wants it to have more and more control over our lives!
Here’s a recent example: There were thousands houses with serious damage after Hurricane Rita three years ago in Port Arthur and a couple surround cities. To date, 1,600 have been fixed. Of those, FEMA took care of 1% and religious groups have fixed 99%.
