Okay.
0:42:54
Is there any plan on pushing for an increase of open space in this area?

I mean I'm not from Brooklyn but my wife is.

I'm very familiar with this area and it's very dangerous over there and it's very dark over there.
0:43:08
So I think allowing open space over there will be very beneficial if you're trying to increase density in the area as well.
0:43:15
And I'm pretty sure the council members are gonna be advocating for that as well.

So just wanna highlight if there's any way to push from open space in that area, think we should be creative and try to figure out those ways.
