The site is owned by the Port Authority. That is a public entity jointly owned New York and New Jersey. Then you have Silverstein who has (I think) 99 year lease on the WTC. He has the insurance money - plus the right to rebuild. Then you have New York City planners and zoning. Then many interested parties who dont want to compete with another few million sq. ft. of new office space. Don't forget the familes of the victims who would like to turn the whole site into a memorial, jobs and the NYC tax base be damned. A mess of monumental proportions.
