The premise of this article is flawed. *Arguing that Silverstein is unjust in ignoring the public doesn't hold here, since he is really ignoring Pataki (and the 13% or so of the public who favored Libeskind's design.)It seems that Silverstein is going to go along with the 1776 ft. tower in his plan. *Neither Libeskind nor Pataki argued for anything more, hence there is no taller buildings coming out of this either way.
