1:54:15
I'll be brief.
1:54:17
I just wanted to note that as a result of the modifications, over 70% of my district, is exempt from ADUs and TODs.
1:54:26
And I just wanted to state that because I think there's a lot of misinformation.
1:54:29
And while I truly do value, my community, I cannot rest my decisions based off of a lot of misinformation that I even heard here today.
1:54:40
And I just wanted to take this time to really thank, again, the land use division.
1:54:43
I wanted to call them out by name, Paris, Brian, and Arthur, who has been fielding tons of my questions and concerns for over the last year.
1:54:52
I really appreciate it.
1:54:53
I really appreciate you helping me to understand, what we're voting on today.
1:54:58
And so, with quite difficulty, because this was not an easy choice, this is not an easy vote, it's, it's a very difficult vote.
1:55:07
So with difficulty, I vote aye on all.
1:55:09
Thank you.
