The New York Times > Opinion > A First Stone for Ground Zero: "They need to figure out how to pay for the memorial and the cultural complex. They need to figure out how to provide more housing downtown, a priority for Mayor Bloomberg. And finally, the most difficult part of the equation: Mr. Pataki and his supporters need to do some harder thinking about future transportation needs for Lower Manhattan."

Can New York City rebuild only through the natural operations of the free market, or is this type of government intervention necessary. When is the government necessary, and when is the unfettered operation of the free market best? How can the free market solve big problems like rebuilding NYC (or Denver), or little problems like snow removal after big storms? What do you think?
