mayor michael bloomberg seemed ambivalent to the change , saying " i would prefer to see it stay the freedom tower , but it ' s their building , and they don ' t want me putting on it . if they should rent the whole thing by changing the number , i say they ' re going to do that , and they probably , from a responsible view of view , should . from a patriotic point of view , is it going to make any difference ? " .
The Freedom Tower belongs to Michael Bloomberg.
