So, first I want to commend, Speaker Adrian Adams and the land use staff and the speaker staff, for putting together, the changes that they did for, the city of Yass.
0:39:56
I mean, it was quite extraordinary.
0:39:58
They didn't have a lot of time to do it.
0:40:00
And, I think they made a lot of major, advancements on it.
0:40:07
And, but, you know, we haven't changed the zoning text, since 1961.
0:40:13
And so this is a major undertaking and it's being brushed through, I think, in a lot of different ways.
0:40:20
And so, I still have major reservations about it, just like Robert Moses way back was thought to be a miracle worker when he changed the infrastructure of New York City.
0:40:33
And now, we're in the process of trying to undo some of the damage that was done then.
0:40:38
I don't want to see the same damage done with the city of YES.
0:40:41
And, I won't be here in 50 years, but, my niece and nephew will.
0:40:46
And, I also heard very loud, the voices of my constituents, so I vote no on the city of YES.
