A % agree, and I just for me, which is why I think it was important to even bring it up in this conversation, but moving forward when we're talking about the system, we need to talk about it in entirety.

And like I said, looking forward to working with everyone moving forward, but this has to be a part of the conversation because we're gonna be in the same situation if not worse in Absolutely.

In ten or fifteen years when I'm hearing that the numbers for young people have like tripled with around gun arrest and all these things, so how are we making it part of this plan moving forward?

And yes, I do know about the organizations doing generational work, but it's not up to them, it's up to the city to make sure this is part of the planning conversation.
