^^^ I could see that being the case for political/tourist reasons. But September 11 was 20 years ago, and One World Trade Center is now almost 10 years old and there are already three taller buildings in midtown, with more on the way. So its claim as the tallest in the city and the country is not valid anymore. With that knowledge, I could see a strong case made to have 2WTC being taller than 1WTC even if there is a statute that 1WTC be the tallest in the complex. Plus it would be such a beautiful building that it would draw a whole new wave of renewed attention, and make the case that we built back stronger.
