So, it looks like the mosque in NYC near Ground Zero has cleared another hurdle. Seriously though, the NYPD is against it, the NYFD is against it, the families of those who died that day are against it. Having known and befriended just a couple of NYPD’s finest in my life, I have to wonder if anyone thinks for a moment that it will get completed much less stand for very long. I predict many unfortunate accidents.
You just hit on something that nobody else has mentioned. Since it’s being built in NYC, it has to be built by the various Unions. Who are notorious for their interpretations of the numerous Locals involved.
This could become the biggest “Money Pit” in the history of NYC,
It all depends on which way they want to play it.
I agree it shouldn’t be built anywhere near “Ground Zero”, but if it becomes inevitable, I hope the Unions make it an expensive, miserable experience.
$100 million? Try $250 million and rising…
