My name is Christopher Leon Johnson, and I'm here to testify in support of Dying Out NYC.
3:49:42
At the same time, I think that mister Galvino's correct about Elizabeth Adams.
3:49:46
I'll I think that Elizabeth Adams should identify herself as a lobby for transportation alternatives, and it's on e e lobby on the clerk website that she should identify herself as a lobbyist.
3:49:56
At the same time, I Vicki Baldino, you can bring up.
3:49:58
She's at she's a lobbyist, by the way.
3:50:00
She should identify some of the lobbyists just like Jack Shibacha identified herself as lobbyist yesterday at a two days ago at a trepidation hearing when Raul Rivera got got to a customer 21.
3:50:11
But at the same time, look, the West outdoor dining, we need this.
3:50:15
But at the same time, we have to make sure that it doesn't be opened up in certain areas like the last few secret said that in in smaller in, like, smaller streets.
3:50:23
At the same time, we need to put more defensive defensive architecture to make sure that in the in the dining, like, in the in the sheds to make sure that the homes people don't sleep, the homes people don't they don't be able to sleep and use the bathroom and and do what they gotta do in there because when you when you let the people do that and we all know that the nonprofits that allowed the stuff is like local New York and and housing work.
3:50:45
They allowed the stuff because these the progressive caucus are scared of them, so they won't say that they will they'll try to fix that.
3:50:50
They'll try to stop that.
3:50:51
And we and just really try to say, look.
3:50:53
Let's put defensive architecture up there, but for the prevent the homelessness from screwing up the the sheds.
3:51:00
But at the same time that once you have this, it'd be more healthy for everybody to start using, and we have to work our cleaning doing the cleanup.
3:51:06
We need to clean up.
3:51:07
I think that need to stop.
3:51:08
That need to start happening more.
3:51:09
At the same time, only put the the sheds in certain streets, like Third Avenue, Second Avenue, or any street that's over, like, 50 feet.
3:51:17
You need to, like like it's like a wide street, like, Fifteenth Avenue, like a wide street.
3:51:22
You should put a open shed, but not put, like, a shed on a or, like, a small block, like, in, like, in Bayard Street in in Chinatown.
3:51:29
But I need to stop.
3:51:30
I need to start I I support it.
3:51:31
I support the initial on the set, but at the same time, the city council need to start, being cracking down.
