And you have I'll note that you did quite a few meetings.
3:10:04
We probably did as much, but if not more, for the Eastside coastal resiliency project.
3:10:10
But I'll I'll note that you are a small agency.
3:10:13
And informing our communities is definitely difficult, but necessary.
3:10:17
So I appreciate my colleagues' comments on fair share too.
3:10:20
You know, I represent NoHo and the Soho, NoHo rezoning.
3:10:24
It's an amenity rich area, and it had contributed very little in affordable housing.
3:10:29
That was clear on the map in your own presentation, which it was an excellent presentation, by the way.
3:10:35
And they should contribute, but still difficult to pass the rezoning there, and and I'm holding the city accountable to their commitments from that rezoning.
3:10:42
I look forward to you holding up your end on these final negotiations.
