Everybody here spoke about the sidewalks.
4:50:48
We all know that story, but you're working on that.
4:50:51
The biggest problem is is that, as David said, as car remember car said, is that the they do not get the controller does not come back.
4:51:03
I mean, nobody's better than Evelyn.
4:51:05
Like she's like a dog with a bone.
4:51:07
And I'm telling nobody's seeing any kind of money back after a gigantic layout.
4:51:12
Of somewhere between $15, $20,000, depending upon.
4:51:17
Circling back to that, smaller tree planting, of course, was brilliant I mean, finally roots that will go down and not spread out.
4:51:25
But in the older neighborhoods
Shekar Krishnan

Yeah.

These mighty Oaks were planted, and so they will grow.
4:51:30
And so they will destroy so.
4:51:32
Okay.
4:51:33
That's another thing.
4:51:34
Community involvement.
4:51:36
I just recently did around about my neighborhood.
4:51:39
And I put a video out on my Facebook page asking for certain flagpoles to get painted by licensed painters to volunteer their time memorial days coming, and my phone has not stopped ringing.
4:51:53
So the more you put out there to your constituents, you know, plant it, and it will grow, build it, and they will come.
4:52:01
And I said, let's just do it.
4:52:03
Natalie and I did it, and they're coming around.
4:52:06
So I really strongly believe in the community involvement.
