- She asks how the proposal balances these concerns and if it's possible to go deeper
- Sanchez inquires about DCP's projections for units built using UAP over the next decade and their potential locations
- Garodnick explains that the UAP was designed with flexibility and income averaging to address varied concerns
- He provides an estimate of 12,000-3,000 units spread across R6 to R10 districts

2:54:34
