First of all, I want to thank Desoho and Noah residents who are here today.
1:14:32
Thank you for amplifying your voice.
1:14:34
I agree with you.
1:14:35
This is a discriminatory practice.
1:14:37
It's based on your geography and nothing else.
1:14:40
And I think, hopefully, we could do away with that under the current application.
