Just want to reiterate one of the points mentioned by our majority whip.

Vacant storefronts could have a lot of negative consequences.

Not only really issues, garbage dumping issues, but also we've even seen in some parts of my district and in the Bronx, in general, even leading to squadting other general public safety issues.

And, you know, for it it could easily lead 1 or 2 week in storefronts.

It could easily have a horrible domino effect in an entire business corridor.

So really important that we give that issue a lot of priority and a lot of attention.
