So What's Holding Up Rebuilding The World Trade Center?

5 years and not a brick has been laid. 5 years and not one plan has been given the official go-ahead. Now, we all know that liberal governments enjoy sitting on their hands and having meetings when there's real work to be done, and while there is a light at the end of the tunnel it's time for the Port Authority cops to gird their loins and take a good stab at being men.

"PA Chairman Anthony Coscia told a New Jersey paper he'd rather resign than force his workers back into a World Trade Center complex that had been the target of two terrorist attacks.

Coscia's employees backed their boss. (Conversely, private-sector firms that lost workers on 9/11 have voiced enthusiasm about returning; good for them.)"

The last time I spoke with a member of the PA Police I was told "You'd have to be fucking nuts to go to work each day in a place with a big ass bullseye on it..." and it shocked me. It should not have, but it did. Pensions and "going home safely" each day are foremost in the modern big city authority-figure's mind, something drummed into them by unions and liberal politicians who hire undersireables because "diversity" is more important than performance.

None of this is changing anytime soon, and remains part of the reason not a brick has been laid to rebuild what islam tore down.
