Consult the subway map. You'll see, very clearly, that neither line serves the WTC.

These are completely different neighborhoods, and have nothing to do with the conversation. We were talking about the WTC, in Lower Manhattan, vs. Hudson Yards, in Midtown.
The neighborhoods north of Lower Manhattan (places like SoHo, Flatiron, and the like) actually have equal or higher rents than Midtown. No one is disputing that these areas are VERY competitive with Hudson Yards. But Lower Manhattan is different, and has lower rents, for the aforementioned reasons. If the WTC were in Soho, yeah, it would probably be finished years ago.

Again, Brooklyn is not necessarily closer for commuting purposes, as has been explained. Distance in terms of mileage isn't as important as commuting time.
