this might be an unpopular opinion but i like this new height. it keeps Libeskind’s original view for the WTC complex to step up towards 1 WTC when seen from the Statue of Liberty. I also think it allows One World Trade to stand out more which i’m a fan of bc it looks so much better then the crappy design they’ve chosen for 2.
