Good morning.
0:55:07
So I heard everything you guys were saying.
0:55:10
However, no one spoke about the hazardous conditions.
0:55:14
Like, my understanding is that there is petroleum in this in the soil.
0:55:19
So if it we all start doing no construction, how that affect us in the community I mean, because it could be very crippling on the body, and no one mentioned that.
0:55:32
So I wanna know, like, what's going on with that?
0:55:35
My daughter had gotten sick some years back, and she was very she was healthy nothing.
0:55:41
God.
0:55:42
She was healthy back then, and she lost a lot of weight and was unable to walk because of the hazardous conditions in the neighborhood being being built.
0:55:50
So what are you doing to ensure that that problem won't roll over into us?
0:55:58
So I'm on the 135th Street.
0:56:00
