Okay,

I'm not going to go there with either of you on any of that stuff.

So the garage.

And so my representative at NCPC, National Capital Planning Commission, yesterday raised these concerns with regard to the massing.

Why can't the location be shifted for the garage? Why can't some of it be put underground to reduce the height? I will note that last year, when we had the proposal before us, the proposal quite clearly was 8,000 parking spaces.

The two garages would be 6,000, so that's not the full 8,000.

The commanders indicated last year and put in writing that they may, after the two garages are built, which are at the city's expense, they may reevaluate whether they want all 8,000.

What does this mean for D.C. residents?

What's your response to her and, and to some other residents who have similar frustrations, particularly about juvenile crime and dealing with that?

Well, there certainly are some residents who are disgruntled with local government.

But the reality is that-Crime is the lowest it has been this century.

Crime this year is down, violent crime is down 26% compared to last year.

If you look at violent crime over the last 10 years, it's down 43%.

There were 3,469 violent crimes committed last year.

That's 3,469 individuals, victims who have really bad stories to tell, no question about it, but overall, we are reducing crime and this city is not, uh, the pandemic of rampant lawlessness, which is what the President said in his announcement yesterday.

Um, what do you say to those folks who you can read the statistics to them over and over again, but they still don't have a sense of safety in their city, and what can you do to make sure that the trend line that you're working on in terms of those crime statistics continues to go down, but at the same time gives a sense of security to the people you represent?
