Hi.
14:04:31
Thank you for doing this so late.
14:04:35
I just wanted to call and speak on behalf of the proposal.
14:04:40
So I grew up in apartments.
14:04:44
I've lived in New York now for 17 years.
14:04:47
I helped run a business that employs about a thousand people.
14:04:51
And I think the number one issue that we see is people want a space to be able to live that is affordable, to be able to raise a family, and to stay in the city.
14:05:03
And so anything that is city wide, that I think is proposing somewhat straightforward, sensible, modest things that create more housing, long term housing is a huge positive.
14:05:18
Definitely has the chance probably the the likelihood to be the most significant thing that This administration is able to do, I think, for the average person who lives in New York.
14:05:29
So I just wanted to call and, you know, say thank you to folks who have been introducing this.
