I appreciate that there are costs here that are associated with customer day lot of success bill.

It's a good bill, one that I support.

I realize it's a 0 it's not a 0 sum or that it is a 0 sum game in in a sense that we have certain number of resources.

We're trying to maximize it as much possible, for affordable housing, for good jobs, for all of the things.

But without her legislation, we have no mechanism to prevent an entity like this, Alba, that frankly has been undermining worker experience in my community and across the city from actually being kept out, right, from doing this work.

And so that's why I support the bill.
