I do just wanna state, you know, this is it is not lost on any of us in this process that this is supposed to be in a administrative win as as well as a council win.

If we want to build the units and we want to make investments in the parks and make investments in our communities and directly to our neighbors.
1:00:58
This is our opportunity to do so.

It might be 1 of the few opportunities the Bronx has at least in our tenure as council members and as the mayor, you know, within the city.
1:01:10
So I urge all of you to push back on any pushback that you folks get on the investments that are needed, but also that bronchitis deserve for the decades of lack of investment that have happened.
