Alright.
2:45:34
Hey.
2:45:34
What's up, everybody?
2:45:35
My name is Christopher Leon Johnson.
2:45:37
I know I'm blue.
2:45:37
I'll talk in now, but first of all, I wanna say thank you.
2:45:39
My council member Meeley and council member Banks were voting no for the city.
2:45:43
Yes.
2:45:45
Chris, I'm sorry about how I got at you at the committee with 5 hearing.
2:45:49
Like I said, I really care about public house.
2:45:51
Like I know what how you immediately does, but I wanna bustle.
2:45:54
I hope you forgive me for that.
2:45:55
I know Sandy's got a different, but I wanted to walk up this situation right now with the weatherproof.
2:46:01
I saw it on the, the, the, the header and the reason the repairs are not going to happen with weather really weatherproofing the nicer developments, especially in my district.
2:46:10
I mean, Emily's district and your district and all over the city with NYCHA developments is because they're pushing the people that's really running NYCHA who should have been here today.
2:46:20
This bobo, I think that's her name is, she should have been here today instead of the, the b team, her representatives.
2:46:26
The reason they're not really going to do what they do, but we're really well approved thing and climate, controlling nitrogen developments right now is because they push it for a rat impact.
2:46:37
What they want to do is push the people who's currently in it right now, which are really undesirables.
2:46:42
I mean, that's what they really call people that's paying the money that they don't want them to pay.
2:46:47
They want them out those units and get those, Yandis and the people that will push it for the CDS into those units.
2:46:54
Once those people are out into hotels like the fight was going on Fulton Chelsea is shot to do that spike Fulton Chelsea.
2:47:02
They go to start doing what they really want to be doing and making the night of the business look like Stuytown.
2:47:08
People got some of the Stuytown and, and 2 trees and start no.
2:47:12
Not 2 trees, 2 bridges and start understand that what they wanna do with the nature development, especially both in Chelsea, is to make them look like, Stuytown and, 2 2 bridges.
2:47:24
And, and let's make this clear.
2:47:27
I I think people start fighting us more that, nature should be public.
2:47:31
It should always be public.
2:47:32
It should never be private.
2:47:34
Alright.
2:47:34
Thank you.
Chris Banks
2:47:35
