And likely to be even more unwelcoming than the original WTC to regular people.

What you can't see in that picture is that the entire base of the building (that is, ground level up to 200 ft) will be a mostly windowless mass of concrete (!) to protect against car bombs, so the building will essentially be an opaque block to anyone on the street. So much for making the area more "friendly."

I live four blocks away from the WTC and can't imagine they would put even MORE of these types of unwelcoming cubicle-storage behemoths in this area. Most of the corporations who used to rent space in the WTC area have already moved to midtown anyway.
