Why did 9/11 victims familes have any say in what happens with WTC site?

Q. Why did the familes of 9/11 victims have any influence whatsoever in what happened to the site?

I don't get it, just cause a family member dies somewhere gives your ownership of a billion dollar property?

Just because someone in their family died there, does that give them business, economic, and real estate expertise in one of the highest-demand areas ever?

A. They didn't have much say, it was more symbolic. Of course the whole site is now symbolic.

By your logic, vietnam vets shouldn't have much say in their memorials, nor should WWII vets. Unless your statement is that it depends on the assumed value of the memorial's location. Perhaps it's time to take down the Lincoln, Washington, and Jefferson memorials... that's some expensive land in DC there.


How is Giving Iraq's Resources to Hezbollah and Al Qaeda going to help US National Security?
Q. That wouldn't be just "psychological emboldening", that would leave them money, materielle, resources and real estate for brick and mortar training grounds, which will imperil Americans' lives in the homeland.
How is this in our interest when millions of Americans may die as a result of more well-funded and sophisticated terror attacks?
When the US abandoned Vietnam, it 'only' resulted in 1.5 million south vietnamese dying--i.e. a regional conflict-- when the North Vietnamese took them over, whereas Iraq's consequences amount to a far more dangerous worldwide terror threat of great scope.
What's the benefit if millions die as a result of helping the enemy? Their stated mission is to kill Americans, so I don't get why some Americans want to help them achieve that end.
Hezbollah was behind the murder of hundreds peacekeeping US Marines sleeping in their barracks in Beirut in 1983.

A. Strategically it will lead to the fall of Sunni Saudi Arabia to the Shi'ite forces of Iran. This long running war of Islam is the true prize and the USA is the biggest stumbling block to success. We have shown to much resolute will to defend the Saudi's(Oil has to be the only reason as they are not nice people). Iranian hegemoney in the Islamic World will spell industrial disaster in the developed world(Wake up China you get shafted here too!). The Iranians like living in the 12th century and think we should all join them!
Fight now there or fight and loose here at home. It seems we may be on the path to the latter. I just thought these college educated Dems had more sense than they have displayed. Too bad a liberal arts education isn't what it used to be.

My fault for seeking a technical education and trying to apply scientific method?

Where is the Best Kept Secret for Buying Real Estate in San Diego?
Q. CITY HEIGHTS, situated 10 minutes southeast from San Diego�s thriving downtown and new ballpark, is known for its extremely diverse immigrant population and many affordable properties. Some of the lowest priced properties that are in the county are in this zip code. City Heights (92105) has an up and coming atmosphere. The City Heights area has a community-oriented character with many upgrades happening before our eyes! 92105 is a mixed-use neighborhood with 4 new schools that have opened since 2006! A prime spot for first-time buyers and rental property investors makes City Heights very desirable at this time. City Heights (and the adjoining Azalea Park Community) has been progressively transitioning from a lower income community to a vibrant, trendy neighborhood filled with artists, working professionals, and young families.
This ethnically and socially diverse community enjoys a variety of shops and neighborhood organizations and is very convenient to freeways and public transportation. The state-of-the-art community center and shopping district includes a new massive Albertsons Food Store Shopping Center, a drive-through Starbucks and many new restaurants. Adjacent to the new community center is a Public Park with a large community pool, entertainment stage and sports fields.
House styles range from small craftsman and Spanish style to one to three bedroom homes and affordable condos. There are many 2-6 unit rentals properties and apartment buildings available. There is a dense population in City Heights that readily supports an investment property owner in their acquisition of tenants.
Originally, this was the area that supported the new immigrants from Mexico, Vietnam then Ethiopia and Somalia. These rich cultures create a most colorful and interesting mix of beautiful people and fascinating traditions. Still, the influx of businesses and new construction to the neighborhood and the close proximity to the hip North Park and Hillcrest has helped to increase home values in the past decade. City Heights is only 1.5 miles from the campus of San Diego State University.
There is no place to go but UP...with prices now from $160,000 for a small condo, up to $900,000 for a multi-unit investment property. This area is gaining quickly in popularity, so be prepared to act rapidly if you want to live or invest in this desirable community.

Do you think Vietnam is poor compared to other southeast Asian countries?
Q. Do you think Vietnam is poor compared to other southeast Asian countries? Is Vietnam better than how it was before?

Thank you!

A. Vietnam remains a poor country, however, it's economic growth has been recognized globally, and is becoming a major trading partner with many countries. It is growing comparatively quickly in it's GDP (gross national product), when compared to it's Asian neighbors.


If you look at this link, it shows the amazing economical growth of the country.
http://www.google.com/publicdata?ds=wb-wdi&met=ny_gdp_mktp_cd&idim=country:VNM&q=vietnam+gdp

Site includes a graph which makes it quite clear.
Via the same site, check out comparisons with it's neighbors. That alone shows you, and has been widely reported in the media that Vietnam's economic growth is overtaking many of it's neighbors.
From under 18 billion USD in 1985 to the continual climb today of over 91 billion USD and continues to climb.

The current Vietnam Prime Minister has caused Vietnam to join the World Trade Organization and he went further so far to invite foreign investment.

Consider also, Chinese companies closing their companies in China and re-opening in Vietnam.

The overall result is substantial increases in real estate values, higher wages, an increased standard of living and improved social infrastructure such as schools and health.


Compared to some, ,... yes, still poor, but of others, has easily overtaken them.
It's future is in it's own hands. Investor confidence is growing, and if continued, could see Vietnam become a major economical zone of Asia.

There are many websites out there to view, but also look at notable publications like Business Review Weekly and similar.
Some commentators are suggesting that Vietnam has the real potential of becoming the new Singapore.
