Hi.
13:29:19
Thank you for your time.
13:29:20
I know it's late, so I'll keep my statement short.
13:29:23
My name is Daniel Fisher, and I live in Brooklyn District 34.
13:29:26
I've lived in the city for eight years, and I'm twenty six years old.
13:29:29
I'm here to support the city as proposal in its entirety.
13:29:32
As Kamala Harris correctly identified, our country needs millions of new housing units to address our affordability crisis.
13:29:38
There is no question that New York City needs to do its part towards reaching its goal.
13:29:42
Cities represents an extremely exciting proposal for me.
13:29:45
As someone who plans to spend the rest of my life in the city, this proposal will quite literally change the trajectory of my life and out of my peers as well.
13:29:53
Currently, many of my age face a lifetime of looming and ever increasing housing costs with no relief site.
13:29:58
If we're a rent burden today, how bad will it be when we're trying to start families or when we want to retire?
13:30:04
Today represents a critical moment in which we can take a real step towards reversing this trend.
13:30:08
Ambitious forward thinking projects like this one are what designed the city, right now, we need another one more than ever.
