And housing, like, when we get into the details and, and looking at your platform, and really all the city and residents are always wondering about affordable housing, how's your thought on that? How we are we doing as a city, and what can we do better?

Um, how are we doing as a city? I know that a lot of people are struggling, right? For, for all, when you look at all different avenues of how we talk about affordable housing, uh, because of my experience in the nonprofit sector particularly, this is why I was so, um, I'm putting so much emphasis on cooperative housing.

You know, I see families that access, um, affordable housing in our community that have geared to ren- uh, geared to rent income, and some of these families have paid into them for 20 years.

And then where is the equity building in an option like that? This is why I think cooperative housing is a good shift to be able to move families that have maybe, uh, been a- been in some of these programs to actually be able to move beyond that and move towards home ownership down the line.

And I really think that putting collective power back into people's hands is an important step and something that we need.

We haven't seen developments like this in our region for quite some time.

So let's, uh, let's focus on that.

How can local government better serve our neighborhoods?

So just you do your thing, okay?
