This cannot be the council that turns their back on homeless.
1:12:28
This cannot be the council that turns their back and continues to say, scrap it.
1:12:34
Let's move ahead.
1:12:35
Let's do something else because I tell you that will never happen.
1:12:39
It hasn't happened in 20 years and it's not gonna happen today if we say no to people that need some place to live and are looking for this body to deliver it.
1:12:54
It is incumbent upon us to do our due diligence to the people of this city, the people that are looking to us to be their leaders, and I know that advancing solutions to these difficult problems certainly isn't easy, but it definitely becomes possible if we unite.
