I wouldn't specifically seek it out, but I wouldn't have a problem with working in them either.

In the "damaged but repaired" scenario we already have some degree of an answer to that as thousands of people were still working in those buildings even though it at already been the target of a terrorist attack within the previous decade. And, of course, thousands of people continue to work in the Pentagon every day and at least a dozen a day visit a Pennsylvania field.

But then I find the idea of consecrating the place where people died to be odd anyway so I don't really place any talismanic value on the sites of the attacks either. And the sooner the attacks on 9/11 become an end-of-the-newshour footnote every year (as the Oklahoma City bombing already mostly is) the better for society in general (IMO).

A country that dwells too much on the suck in life finds itself killing people for really stupid reasons a couple centuries down the road.
