Okay.

And if I may, just to underscore for my district and certainly my community, we the deep affordability, 40%, is where we need the biggest support here.
4:21:31
The 60 is still out of reach and not at all housing the folks that are getting displaced on a daily basis.
4:21:37
And the amount of overcrowding we have is is pretty severe, particularly in our AEPI community.
