I'm saying the landmark commission should have had more respect for a building that survived the most deadly attack on American soil in our country's history. I see, so your thoughts on the landmark commission and the building have nothing to do with the mosque. If the Catholic church wanted to buy it, destroy it, and turn it into the most modern church building in New York, you'd still think the landmark commission should have stopped them. Hmmm, but then in your next post you say the landmark commission should have stopped the sale because the buyers were going to turn the building into a mosque. So your issue seems to be the mosque, not the status of the building as a landmark. I think the landmark commission should stick to their assigned job which is likely deciding which buildings should stand because of their "landmark" status, and not get in the area of deciding what new developments are and are not appropriate on space that is determined not to be "landmark" space. What right does the landmark commission have to decide that a building cannot be torn down to build a mosque, but the same building can be torn down to build a church, or a cool condo even? None.
