I think its too late to change course.
And I suspect that Trump is attempting to muddy the waters and probably delay the construction of the new complex for reasons other than his desire to get the old NY skyline back.
I would have liked to see the original towers rebuilt. If Trump really wants to rebuild them, then he should do so in another nearby location...Maybe right next to the United Nations (Hint Hint)
Let the City and State of New York go ahead with their project. Trump can "trump them" if he wishes... I'd support him in that whole heartedly so long as the project is financed by the private sector.
