Yeah.
3:00:28
No.
3:00:28
I I think that's totally understandable.
3:00:30
I think reason why I bring up the example of concessions in this one space versus you know attracting vending is I agree and I think we all agree this there isn't a one size fit all in all of New York City, and there are some folks that are here today asking for vending to move to a parking spot.
3:00:50
My district does not want the outside dining regulations and they don't want vending in the parking spot either, right?
3:00:57
And not every sidewalk can take it.
3:00:59
That doesn't necessarily mean that we don't look at every angle that we can that fits the best community.
3:01:06
This will take an all hands approach from our side of the council, but also from the administration who might just only see that we wanna expand.
3:01:16
We wanna look at every measure that's possible to make New York City and its entrepreneurs and business owners work well together and thrive, and like that's the goal here, and that might mean that we're looking at multiple approaches.
