Bold plan ... Donald Trump explains the virtues of his new towers / AFP

NEW York property tycoon Donald Trump has unveiled his design for "bigger, stronger and better" twin towers to replace the World Trade Centre destroyed on September 11, 2001.
Denouncing the existing plans for rebuilding Ground Zero as the "worst pile of crap architecture I've ever seen", Mr Trump argued that erecting two new, even taller twin towers was the only valid response to the terrorists

Towers aside, the interesting issue is the ground plane, the streets and how the towers touch ground, negotiating a memorial.

I wonder what New Yorkers think about this?
