As you just said that you just went to the community board and you told us that you were not gonna speak about this project.

My issue is who can live in a 2 bedroom apartment, only 800 square feet.

If that was what you said she was gonna do when you did the charade come in with the commissioner, Why wouldn't you tell this community about this?
0:20:59
Wouldn't that be something to tell the community?
