Williamsburg in Green Point, and I am coming on tonight to say I am bored, City of Yes.
12:12:47
I really am looking forward to the hundreds of 1000 of housing we're going to get potentially over the next 10 years, and the income that's gonna bring in.
12:12:56
I'm really looking forward to being able to find housing that doesn't require a parking mandate because that's gonna really lower the cost of housing for a lot of people and also just give more people opportunity to move into the city and then be able to enjoy everything that we enjoy in the city ourselves right now.

And I would like were you all to vote yes on city of yes?
