Hi, everyone.
6:38:10
Just wanted to say a big thank you to the chair and the council for the truly yeoman's effort involved in listening to all these testimonies today.
6:38:17
I just had one thirty second thing to add into the mix a little bit.
6:38:22
I'm looking to start an independent clothing label in New York City.
6:38:25
And I think that one really powerful way to connect with customers and people who'd interested in the brand would be by selling on the street and really meeting people face to face.
6:38:36
And I was disappointed and surprised to find out that it's literally impossible for me to do that right now.
6:38:43
I'd love to see these, resolutions passed and be able to get an opportunity to sell my wares in the street and start making those connections with, fellow New Yorkers.
