The owner (Silverstein) and the ground lessee (Port Authority) will get insurance for the past loss. Silverstein, as we know, wants a double payment. I have no idea what the loss of future tax revenue would be to the city for a few blocks. Over how much time? Till it's destoyed again? To rebuild another tower with a crappy water memorial is like Bush and the Times taking responsibility without any sacrifice. (Except no one in the City took responsibility for bad police/fire coordination, the "bunker in the sky," etc etc.)
