Do you 121 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 5: know anything about that? 122 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 2: Well, it's not just Mandami, this was the city of Yes. 123 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 2: I warned everybody about it. Eric Adams got windined in 124 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 2: pocket lined by the developers and realtors, as did Andrew 125 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 2: Evilize Cuomo. So they now have the authority because the 126 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 2: people voted this into the law because everybody's so affordable housing, 127 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,239 Speaker 2: and they thought, oh wow, affordable housing. 128 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 1: I'm for that. No, no, no, no no. 129 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 2: So if you happen to live in a residential community 130 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 2: and this is coming to a neighborhood near you. They 131 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 2: call it up zoning, density housing. Kathy Holkol tried that 132 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 2: and realize that wasn't going to work out to get 133 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 2: her elected against leez Elden, so she dropped it like 134 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 2: hot rock. But the whole idea was build high rise housing, 135 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 2: claim it's affordable near train stations along ther Metro North, 136 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 2: and people in residential area say, oh no, no, no, 137 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 2: no no, we don't need any density housing. 138 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 1: We don't need any up zoning. 139 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 2: There's zoning, there's elected officials, there's a process. 140 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 1: So Kathy Hoko recognized that was a third rail. 141 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 2: But in New York City, because the issue became affordable housing, 142 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 2: costs of living, they've pushed through this mandate that gives 143 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 2: developers and realtors the opportunity to come into your neighborhoods 144 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 2: in the outer boroughs, whether you live in the Bronx, 145 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,319 Speaker 2: Staten Island, Queens of Brooklyn, and. 146 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 1: They can come into your neighborhood. 147 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 2: They don't have to go through any zoning regulations any longer, 148 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 2: they don't have to meet with the community board, they 149 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,559 Speaker 2: don't have to even meet with the local elected officials 150 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 2: if they want to put up a forty story high 151 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:59,319 Speaker 2: rise by the way, with no parking and burden your infrastructure. 152 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 2: They have a right to do it. They've been given 153 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 2: a green light. Worse yet, they're putting up these lithium 154 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 2: ion battery warehouses, which is a real danger to the community. 155 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 2: They're in residential areas. They're supposed to be in industrial areas, 156 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,199 Speaker 2: but then again, residential property is cheaper than industrial property. 157 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:18,440 Speaker 1: Thirty eight in. 158 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 2: Staten Island, twelve in Brooklyn, eight in Queens formed the 159 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 2: Bronx none in Manhattan because we don't have enough electricity. 160 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:33,439 Speaker 2: And wait if you think it's bad now, artificial intelligence 161 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 2: is going to need double the amount of electricity and 162 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:42,559 Speaker 2: double the amount of water to run their filing centers. 163 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 2: You haven't heard much about that, have you? Of course, 164 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 2: not talk too much of talk radios. Are you you 165 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 2: see all those Somalian themes in Minnesota? 166 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 1: Could you repeat each other anymore?
