Good afternoon.
1:13:03
I just feel like others feel like ramp is secluded from every everywhere else.
1:13:10
And I feel like what's going on now is nothing but pollution.
1:13:17
We have nothing but drug addict buildings.
1:13:20
We have gas stations.
1:13:22
We have this sanitation and all this is doing nothing but pollution in the air.
1:13:26
So building this building and including this supermarket, which will help the residents that people do not care about, obviously.
1:13:37
And given job trainings and get these kids off the street, if these kids off the street and these kids are working in job trainings, that's that's doing nothing but helping the future and helping the residents of the area.
1:13:50
I feel like people don't even care about the residents of the area because I would say I will work means nothing.
1:13:58
And I feel like and other neighborhoods, IE Sunset Park And Park Slope, They're up and coming.
