I have to tell you commissioner that like after usually these hearings are like such a Jimmy Otto love fest.
3:08:42
And I just wondered how you felt if you were watching HPD earlier.
3:08:47
Like tough to match the love that was given to Ahmed.
3:08:51
So like I don't I don't want you to feel left out or anything.
3:08:54
We love you too, but he set a high bar.
3:08:58
I know you're a former colleague of Gail Brewer, you didn't work for her like Ahmed did.
3:09:02
So it's good that we have leaders at both HPD and DOB that I think the council works so well with and who we have a lot of confidence in.
3:09:13
And I'm grateful for how responsive you and your team are to issues that we raise.
