Please. I'm with Silverstein on this one. He's not asking the PA to pay for anything, and if they had gotten off of their a$$es and gotten these sites prepared years earlier when they should have - [i]before the credit crises hit, these towers could have been well on his way into the sky by now.
Too may people, yourself obviously included, like to mesh this WTC office with the ordinary, which it is not. Everyone hada responsibility, the PA included, to see this site rebuilt as swiftly as possible after those 9/11 attacks. Should it be a priority of the PA or the state? It damn well should have been and it damn well needs to be.

Well said. It's hard to imagine so many people only looking at "bottom lines" with regard to the WTC. If the Statue of Liberty had been destroyed, would it have been left in ruins under the guise of "the economy's just not right for a statue"?
