I thank you very much for that.

2:59:43

You know, when we did the Soho NoHo re rezoning, we we knew that, you know, the challenge of creating new units in in historic districts was really gonna be an issue.

2:59:55

And so I absolutely welcome thinking about ways in which that process can take into account the impact that it has on housing.

3:00:04

And so I would just encourage any ideas you have in that regard, to be shared with us because I also agree that that's probably lower hanging fruit than some of the other things that we've talked about, but actually would be meaningful.

Stephen Crim

3:00:17

Yeah.

3:00:18

I agree.

Thank you.
