"About the Competition

To take advantage of the potential for the adaptive end use of this unique
site, the City conducted a two-stage International Design Competition to
foster the development of a master plan for Fresh Kills. The goal was to
attract the best talent, worldwide, to generate ideas and innovative designs
that meet the needs of the City's communities, and that respond to the
natural and constructed history of the site."

I don't think you are following the thread correctly. The question of
adaptive reuse for Fresh Kills has been around for some time and is still a
crucial ecological and design issue for NYC. Unless you are arguing that we
cannot now discuss it either because it is being used as a support area.
That seems a bit histrionic, and logically, precludes the current
construction at JFK, since that too is being used as a support area.

Of course, maybe current construction at JFK should be stopped, but for
other reasons entirely.
