Big, dumb buildings

The, er, second groundbreaking for the Freedom Tower was today. I was going to write a lot about this, but instead you should just go here, because they're much funnier than I am. Anyway, for those of you who aren't in my Metropolitan Studies class, this is the short list of what's so horribly, terribly wrong with this thing:
1. Who the hell is going to buy space in the building voted Most Likely to Be Blown Up '12?
2. Nobody wants to be downtown in general anymore. All the businesses are moving to Midtown, and having lived in the Financial District for a year, I sure don't blame them.
3. It looks like this:

The gray part at the bottom is concrete. And it's 20 stories high. So, like, it can't be blown up by a car bomb on the Westside Highway, but, uh, 200 feet of concrete. Also gives you an idea of how absurdly, unnecessarily tall this fucker is. But the only way to prove that the terrorists didn't beat us is obviously by building the tallest thing in the world and giving them a beautifully obvious target to crash more planes into. Yep. Gotta love America. Everyone's super intent on making a political statement with whatever they build at Ground Zero, meaning we need to build something bigger, better, and with more symbolic meaning, which, you know, is kind of why the terrorists blew up the WTC in the first place. It's a giant middle finger to the rest of the world, which, I guess, is probably what they're going for anyway.
4. Freedom Tower? Seriously, "Freedom Tower"? No wonder the world thinks Americans are all pompous assholes.
