A
B
C
Like
we
got
a
special
night
I
know,
a
lot
of
people
have
been
asking
about
small
business
and
we're
very
concerned
about
small
business
and
big
business,
mostly
in
recovering
from
the
economic
downturn
in
the
covert
related
issues
and
we've
called
in
the
expert
tonight
and
I'm.
First
of
all,
Mark
Egan
and
I
I've
known
Mark.
Since
he
came
to
the
area
and
headed
up
to
capital
region.
Chamber
he's
been
a
great
advocate
for
our
business.
C
Big
and
small
in
our
area
he's
been
a
great
advocate
for
efficiencies
and
government,
and
he
is
you
know.
I
really
want
to
thank
you,
Mark
for
coming
in
here
at
seven
o'clock
on
Labor
Day.
You
know
the
end
of
Labor
Day
week
in
meeting
with
us
here
and
having
a
conversation
with
us.
I
appreciate
it.
Thank
you
and
I
know
a
number
of
students
do
as
well.
So
what
I
we?
C
We
always
had
these
meetings
as
informal
educational
and
then
Mark
is
prepared
to
make
a
little
statement
about
the
status
of
business
in
the
capital
region,
specifically
Albany
County,
and
he
he
also
brings
we're
we're
going
to
have
Georgette
Stefan's
from
the
bent
beer
and
she
had
a
semi-minor
accident
and
couldn't
be
here
with
us
tonight,
and
you
know
we
will
get
her
back
here
and
I
know
he's
spoken
to
Jill
Delaney
from
discover
Albany.
C
So
he's
really
speaking
on
everybody's
behalf
tonight
and
I
he'll
he'll
say
a
little
he'll
give
us
a
little
steal
and
then
we
and
open
it
up
for
questions
when
he's
done.
Third.
D
Thank
you
good
morning.
Thank
you,
Sean
again
good
good
to
be
here.
Mark
Egan,
president
CEO
of
the
collaboration
chamber.
E
A
D
I
first
got
the
call
asking
if
I'd
come
to
a
meeting,
so
the
main
I
think
Focus,
so
that's
sort
of
so
my
bullets
are
looking
broader,
was
I.
Think
some
questions
relative
to
restaurants
was
setting
some
of
the
questions
that
coming
some
of
the
legislators
and
then,
when
I
saw
the
agenda,
it
also
mentioned
Hospitality
on
there
a
little
bit
so
then
I
didn't
touch
base.
So
I
have
a
few
stats
from
from
discover.
Albany
I
won't
do
all
on
those,
but
from
the
hospitality
from
our
hotels,
Etc,
and
then
you
know.
D
Unfortunately,
when
Georgette
wasn't
able
to
comment
Century
are
there
any
key
points
you
would
like
to
make
so
I'll
make
those
on
her
behalf
as
well.
So
with
that
we'll
jump
in
I'll
start
with
the
sort
of
the
hospitality.
The
first
then
get
into
restaurants,
and
then,
if
you
have
other
just
discussion
about
businesses
overall
happy
to
talk
about.
D
Our
hotels
are
really
actually
it's
a
good
story.
Hotel
occupancy
from
from
last
year
to
this
year
is
up
8.5
average
daily
rate
is
up
9.1
percent
of
what
they
would
call
Rev
power,
which
is
revenue
per
available
room,
is
up
13.9
percent.
The
the
challenge
we
were
talking
about
in
the
hallway
right
now,
though,
is
in
the
restaurants,
are
having
the
same
challenge.
While
their
revenue
is
up,
their
costs
are
up
and,
and
so.
E
D
The
net
profit
isn't
what
it
would
appear
to
be
based
at
looking
at
the
numbers,
but
overall,
as
far
as
discover
where
Albany
looks
at
it,
that
the
hotel
industry
is
strong
in
in
the
county
right
now.
Obviously,
one
of
the
things
that
you
folks
as
legislators
look
at
is
what
tax
revenue
also
comes
in.
D
You
know
the
one
thing
that
happened
recently
I
think
you
know
you're
all
aware
that
we
have
three
of
our
hotels.
The
now
are
housing
migrants
and,
while
that
helps
with
occupancy
no
tax
revenue
is
collected
on
those.
So
we
have
one
hotel,
that's
100
migrants.
They
have
a
contract
for
a
year,
so
they'll
have
them
until
next
May
and
that
hotel
alone
last
year,
collected
107
000
in
tax
revenue
that
we
won't
get
this
year
unless,
for
some
reason
it's
made
up
somewhere
else,
employment.
D
And
Leisure
and
Hospitality
the
fourth
quarter
in
2019,
we
were
at
16,
370
and
fourth
quarter
of
2022
fourteen
thousand
five,
eighty
nine,
so
we're
down
just
under
1800
employees
and
that
in
that
sector
switch
gears
to
to
to
restaurants
and
and
I
remember
years
ago,
you
know
I've
been
in
the
workforce
for
a
long
time.
D
So,
if
you've
dealt
with
other
recessions
and
a
number
of
years
ago,
someone
said
to
me,
you
know,
even
in
my
line
of
work,
they
said,
try
to
practice:
Back
Against
The,
Wall
management,
I'm,
like
what
I
said.
What
would
you
do
if
you
back
us
against
the
wall?
You
do
anything
you
had
to
do
to
make
sure
you
could
survive
and
I
think
we
know
that
you
know
our
restaurants
are
really
hard
at
it,
and
and
so
a
lot
of
restaurants
found
efficiencies
that
they
never
knew
they
had.
So
how
did
how
do
they?
D
Restaurants
are
actually
reporting
sales
again
very
similar
to
levels
of
pre-pandemic,
but
it
doesn't
mean
they're
making
money,
because
you
know
when
we're
going
to
the
grocery
store.
All
their
food
costs
have
hung
up
a
lot.
Maybe
their
rent
has
gone
up.
The
utilities
have
gone
up.
Staffing
has
gone
up
by
a
lot
and
they
only
can
increase
the
price
of
that
burger
by
just
so
much
money.
So
it
means
that
their
profit
margins
and
again
a
lot
of
our
small
businesses
in
our
community
that
the
restaurants,
their
margins,
were
slim
to
begin
with.
D
So
many
of
them
are,
you
know
still
on
the
the
fragile
side.
A
D
Recorded
okay,
well
everything's
public
yeah,
it
is
public
but
I
get
to
you
know,
there's
a
variety
of
factors
that
often
go
into
just
like
any
of
us.
Your
your
personal
circumstances
play
into
a
situation
a
lot
of
times.
Your
restaurant
maybe
has
three
Partners.
Well,
one
partner
wants
out
well
the
other
two
don't
have
the
money
he
had
some
old
school
and
that
restaurant
closes
someone
something
happens
where
they
go
through
a
divorce
and.
D
Divorce
gets
settled
the
the
business
you
know,
Falls
up
higher,
so
so
science
when
a
business
closes
and
even
a
restaurant.
It's
not
because
it
couldn't
be
successful.
It's
other
factors
that
tie
in.
If
you
look
just
a
couple
of
weeks
ago,
you
know
you
had,
you
know:
Prime
spot.
You
know
right
on
Pearl
Street
that
you
know
the
the
bishop
closed,
but
then
I
forget.
If
it
was
this
earlier
this
week
or
last
week
the
I
said:
I'll
look
at
China
I
think
it's
called,
which
is
the
Mexico
right
on
Sheridan.
E
D
Have
those
those
those
evid
flows?
I
talked
about
the
the
numbers
in
employment
with
our
hotels,
full
service.
Restaurant
employment
is
down
about
800
jobs
right
now
in
in
Albany
County.
Since,
but
there's
no
question
that
without
government
assistance,
whether
it
was
the
PPP
program,
whether
what
the
different
restaurant
relief
programs,
whether
it
was
County
and
City
Grant
programs,
those
literally,
were
Life
Savers.
They
they
made
the
difference
and
I
think
even
now.
D
The
programs
that
you
folks
are
rolling
out
the
cities
continuing
to
roll
out
even
Grant
programs
that,
like
the
band
and
others,
have
from
facade
improvements,
you
know
real
really
make
a
difference.
Some
lingering
impacts
from
the
pandemic
you're
all
aware
of
it.
You
have
some
employees
that
don't
want
to
go
back
to.
D
D
D
D
A
D
They
estimate
that
4660
loss
per
worker
per
year
compared
to
2019
so
again,
just
in
Downtown
Albany,
that
on
an
annual
basis,
that
impact
is
just
shy
of
14
million
dollars
in
Lost
Revenue,
because
people
aren't
back
to
the
office
every
day.
D
The
the
other
piece
that
they
heard
was
oftentimes
the
people
work
in
these
restaurants.
You
know
they're
not
making
a
high
wage
oftentimes.
These
are
the
folks
that
maybe
you're
relying
on
public
transportation.
D
So
this
is
where
I
give
credit
to
both
the
bid
as
well.
The
bin
is
now
into
their
second
year,
discover
Albany.
You
might
have
seen
an
announcement
just
in
the
last
week
or
so
they're
doing
it.
You
don't
have
CDTA
a
few
years
ago
created
that
Universal
pass.
So
now
anybody
who
works
in
downtown,
not
the
office
workers
but
Hospitality
related
workers
they
can
now
come
to
and
from
work
on,
cdca,
free
and
then
with
with
discover
Albany
anywhere
in
the
county.
D
If
you
are
sort
of
a
part
of
an
organization
to
discover
Albany,
you
can
use
CDTA
with
without
a
charge
with
the
with
the
bed
right
now
they
have
40
companies
that
are
participating.
D
The
other
thing
that
you
may
have
noticed
that
many
restaurants
have
changed
their
Staffing
and
their
operational
models
again
I
mentioned
before
some
of
them
are
now
might
before
they
might
have
been
open.
Six
days
a
week
now
they're
open
four
they're
open
seven.
Now
they're
open
five,
whatever
it
might
be,
a.
D
Back
against
the
wall
component,
how
are
they
cross-training
their
staff?
So
people
can
perform
multiple
functions?
You
know
whether
it's
you
know
you
know
people
who
before
were
just
waiting
on
people,
maybe
now
they're,
actually
making
drinks
or
folks
that
were
in
the
kitchen,
and
now
you
know
sterilizing,
you
know
dining
areas
whatever
they
can
do
to
to
make
things
work
things
that
happen
during
the
pandemic.
A
lot
of
restaurants
didn't
do
a
lot
of
takeout
before
now.
People
want
to
still
do
take
out.
D
Don't
have
a
lot
of
outdoor
dining
a
lot
of
them
created
it.
A
lot
of
people
still
want
that
to
maintain,
and
luckily
government
has
recognized
that
again,
they're
continually
going
to
have
a
problem,
hiring
employees,
and
so
what
they're
trying
to
do
is
say.
Okay,
where
are
the
times
that
they
have
to
make
the
most
amount
of
money
or
other
times
of
the
day
my
employers
can
make
the
most.
D
They
were
a
couple
years
ago,
one
of
our
more
upscale
restaurants,
you
know
for
businesses,
are
trying
to
entertain
during
the
day.
So
when
you're
going
to
reopen
for
lunch-
and
he
said
I
don't
know
if
we
ever
will
because
again,
they
only
can
hire
so
many
people
and
those
employees
are
saying
I'd
rather
work
at
night.
The
average
bill
is
more
money.
It's
up
the
holidays,
consumed.
A
D
Thing
I
want
to
bring
up
is
is
again
from
from
Georgia
that's
a
little
bit
different
than
these
other
elements,
but
obviously
an
important
number
one
particularly
is
part
of
the
role
of
of
County
government
is,
is
looking
at.
You
know,
issues
of
of
of
Public,
Health
and
and
safety,
and
the
social
well-being
of
our
residents.
E
D
Me
to
share
the
number
of
of
small
businesses
in
downtown
that
are
really
are
challenged
by
aggressive
panhandlers
by
you
know:
mental
illness,
drug
addiction,
homeless,
individuals
to
quote
Georgette.
We
desperately
need
access
to
your
new
mental
health,
alternative
crisis
response
pilot
to
be
able
to
have
it
in
downtown
and.
A
D
Advocates
that
if
there's
a
way
to
get
more
page
to
go
position,
somebody
understands
a
lot
of
position.
S
for
the
unit
are
being
filled
just
because
of
the
of
the
wages
being
paid,
which
is
a
mental
health,
and
the
drug
crisis
in
our
community
is
truly
an
economic
development
issue
and
we
need
your
help
and
so.
E
A
H
D
I
I
You
mentioned
the
800
jobs,
800
fewer
jobs,
I.
Think
a
lot
of
that
too
comes
from
sustainability,
saying
well,
we
have
to
make
it
somehow.
We
have
a
little
bit
less
business
or
a
lot
less
business.
We
got
to
do
more
ourselves,
we
can't
find
people
to
work
or
we
can't
afford
them
or
both.
I
You
look
at
the
island
of
Puerto
Rico
or
the
territory
of
Puerto
Rico.
They
devalued
essentially
by
policy
a
U.S
policy.
Devaluated
work
right
and
what
happened
was
businesses
started
folding
up
and
leaving
because
they
couldn't
find
staff
because
they
were
making
more
money
on
assistance
than
they
could
make
working
right?
It's.
I
A
I
D
Truly
hiring
fairs
people
get
hired
right
when
they
go
I
think
two
couple
of
years.
You
know
your
earlier
points,
though
again
for
the
real
small
business.
You
know,
as
you
were
saying
and
I
you
know,
I
think
back
to
you
know,
remember
where
our
things
shut
down
quickly
and
I.
Remember.
It
was
like
in
the
summertime
and
I'm
driving
by
like
my
dry,
cleaner
I
have
something
there
and.
A
E
D
And
then,
when
I
went
to
Pam,
you
know,
I
gave
them
a
big
tip
and
I
never
normally
would
have.
It
was
the
only
place
and
I
just
said.
Tim
I
appreciate
you
still
here,
but
his
eyes
all
filled
up
and
he
talked
about
you
know,
trying
to
decide.
Are
we
going
to
pay
the
mortgage
or
the
business
we're
in
the
mortgage
of
the
house?
D
People
aren't
coming
in.
He
he
basically
almost
laid
off
all
of
his
employees.
He
was
working
like
ungodly
hours.
So
when
it's,
you
know
when
your
name
is
attached
to
that
mortgage.
Those
businesses
do
whatever
they
have
to
to
to
make
it
to
make
it
work.
But
again
it's
how.
How
long
can
they
they
do
that
again,
not
not
to
go
down
a
rabbit
hole?
But
you
know
one
of
the
biggest
challenges
that
we
face
in
the
Northeast
is
is
more
challenging
the
rest
of
the
country.
D
The
whole
country
is,
if
you
read
any
of
the
Democrat
demographics,
you
know
one
of
the
Articles
they've
read:
they
called
it.
A
demographic
drought
like
the
number
of
people
who
are
going
to
retire
in
the
next
10
years
and
will
coming
in
for
the
next
30
Years
you
know
so,
then
you
get
into
bigger
issues.
You
know,
like
you
know,
like
our
organization,
we're
strong
supporters
of
immigration
reform
to
have
no
way
we're
going
to
grow,
our
population
is
and
what
people
come
from
other
other
countries
that
want
to
come
here.
I
D
There
is
taught
in
a
number
of
different
areas,
so
it
could
even
be
like
you
to
use
a
term
like
re-enter,
there's,
even
programs
again,
you
know
companies
are
looking
for
employees
where
they've
been
looking
for.
So
even
folks
who
have
been
you
know
previously
incarcerated
involved
in
the
justice
system.
Coming
back,
companies
look
and
say
how
do
we?
How
do
we
do
that?
A
D
Left
those
Industries,
they
said
they
said
this
happens
again.
Do
I.
Do
I
want
to
be
that
vulnerable,
so
I
I
think
that's
why
you're
starting
to
leave
the
workforce.
You
saw
people
looking
saying
what
do
I
really
want
to
do
and
and
and
again
I
think
over
the
next
several
years.
D
You
know
how
do
we,
you
know,
look
right
now
when
you
talk
about
the
artificial
intelligence
and
what
what
job's
going
to
get
eliminated
for
that
now,
in
some
cases
that
that
this
that
those
that
we
know
where
you
have
a
shortage.
But
the
issue
is
those
jobs
how
to
make
sure
those
people
are
trained
for
other
jobs.
D
It's
it's.
It's
complicated.
H
How
do
you
see
Child
Care
figuring
into
all,
because
if
there
indeed
are
some
people
that
want
to
work?
And
if
you
can't
find
the
people
that
want?
But
I
think
also
that
a
lot
of
what
has
happened
during
the
pandemic
is
that
people
started
caring
for
their
own
children
and
they
realize
that
sometimes
they
might
even
enjoy
caring
for
their
own
children
rather
than
working
to
pay.
A
H
D
It's
it's
very
real
and
I
think
the
difference.
Now,
though,
from
before
is
in
some
cases.
Those
are
why
people
don't
want
to
come
back
to
work.
D
D
E
D
The
pay
isn't
good
enough,
and
you
know
the
the
state
has
tried
to
create
some
programs
for
training
and
again.
So
how
do
you
create
a
sort
of
a
pipeline
for
it?
And
you
know
there
were
some
companies,
you
know
pre-pandemic,
they
were
looking
saying:
what
are
they
going
to
do
to
maybe
help
foreign.
E
But
it's
that's.
That's.
F
C
Thank
you
mark.
D
E
A
F
Speaking
the
hotel
industry,
you
know
for
the
most
part,
depending
on
the
title
property,
you
run
right,
you
can
survive
at
45
or
50
percent
and
you
can
be
doing
wonderfully
at.
E
F
E
D
A
A
A
B
Interesting
yeah,
very
good,
Mr
group.
Thank
you
chairman,
hey
good,
you
know,
Sean
I
think
Alexander.
We
are
a
subcommittee
giving
away.
B
Economic
developing
at
8
million
bucks
to
spending
and
one
of
the
things
we
talked
about
is
commercial
real
estate.
You
know
when
they
invented
the
light
bulb
that
killed
the
candle
industry
and
it
didn't
come
back
commercial,
real
estate.
It's
not
going
to
come
back.
Do
you
have
any
ideas
for
what
we
might
do
to
be
Innovative
and
use
some
government
money,
if
necessary,
to
recapture
the
value
of
that
space
there
and
even
know,
knowing
that
the
commercial
space
is
not
going.
D
C
D
A
ton
of
c-spins,
which
meant
it
was
never
gonna
get
in.
So
if
you
ever
looked
at
like
CBR,
you
already
used
to
do
those
marketing
studies
that
downtown
always
looked
horrible.
Well,
you
look
at
the
last
study.
It
was
a
pre-pandemic
study,
looked
so
dramatically
different,
because
whether
it's
red
burn
or
the
other
companies
that
have
come
in
and
they've
recaptured
that,
but
then
the
issue
is,
you
know:
I
I
was
being
in
one
of
the
law
firms
in
downtown
on
Monday,
and
he
said
he
goes.
We
have
a
requirement.
D
They
have
to
win
at
least
two
days
a
week.
Only
two
days
and
I
said
so
what?
But
he
goes,
but
some
don't
do
it
I'm,
like
I,
think
I,
said
that's
a
requirement.
You
know
what
what
do
I!
You
know
what
do
I
knock
in
here
and,
as
you
know,
the
largest
employer
that
we
have
in
downtown
is
the
state
and
the
state's
not
requiring
people
to
come
back
so
I
I
think
the
the
short
answer
is
that
that
work,
that's
we're
overbuilt
for
a
while
I,
still
wonder
long
term.
D
If
some
of
these
companies
they're
going
to
have
employees
come
back
more
it'd,
be
you
know
this
is
this
is
again
technically
what
they're
saying
we're
not
in
a
recession?
But
you
know
in
the
past,
when
you
had
a
recession,
it
made
people
appreciate
the
job.
A
lot
more
and
employers
were
more
in
charge
in.
D
Are
in
charge
instead
of
employed
employers
at
a
certain
point,
will
employers
be
able
to
say
you
know
to
do
what
we
really
need
to
do?
We
need
you
in
every
day
we
need
you
in
like
like
in
our
office.
You
have
to
come
in
four
days
a
week,
and,
and
so
you
know
the
the
other
piece
with
some
of
these
programs,
you
know
again,
if
you
know,
depending
what
you
have
for
parameters.
A
D
Some
communities
they've
created
programs
where
you'll
do
some
grads
towards
rent
for
some
of
these
businesses
that
are
that
are
still
struggling,
but.
C
A
D
D
H
B
D
It's
a
huge
issue,
you
know,
I,
you
I
often
is
go
to
our
colleges,
talk
to
graduating
classes
and
things
and
I.
Remember
speaking
to
a
you
know:
one
of
the
business
classes
this
past
year,
I
think
it
was
at
you
Albany
and.
A
D
D
But
but
you
know
so
I
and
I
think
that
part
of
that's
lost.
You
know
back
when
the
pandemic
first
hit,
the
Albany
Business
Review
was
doing
tons
of
like
free
workshops
online.
Just
have
some
programming
appeal
together
and
they
had
me
serve
on
several
of
them
and
I.
Remember
that
there
was
this
one
company,
that's
a
technology
company
and
they
happen
to
be
based
in
downtown
Schenectady
and
and
he
he
said
he
goes
well
I'm
actually
going
to
like
what
I
have
to
say.
G
D
Challenge
him
on
the
program,
but
I
call
those
it
was
over
and
I
said
you
know
you're
one
of
those
companies
getting
so
excited,
but
you
want
to
win
the
best
places
to
work.
How
are
you
gonna
do
that
when
you
have
no
culture
within
your
company,
because
people
are
scattered
all
over
their
kitchen
tables
or
their
dens
or
whatever,
and
and.
A
D
H
H
Where
they
used
to
serve
lunch
and
dinner
and
cookies
and
had
very
cool
work
environments,
and
they
still
do
that,
but
they
do,
but
now
they
take
that
money
from
the
rent
and
they
fly
them
in
three
times
a
year
and
they
have
a
two-day
thing
together
and
there
are
ways
I
think
that
some
of
these
younger
companies
that
are
a
little
more
easier
to
Pivot
than
older
companies
are
achieving.
Some
of
that-
and
you
know
and
I
wouldn't
have
believed
it.
H
I
B
I
I
I
mean
to
me
to
me
the
problem
with
that.
Is
you
lose
all
culture
too
quickly
right
and
how
do
you?
How
do
you
create
a
community
out
of
a
purpose
and
in
the
state
I'd
like
to
admonish
the
state
publicly
because
you're
a
losing
community
of
purpose
at
the
state?
You
know
they're,
not
someone
came
in
and
said.
I
I
Supervisor
and
by
the
way,
how
do
you
Mentor
someone
who's
new
it's
hard
to
do
over
over
zoom
and
on
the
phone?
Absolutely
you
know
and
I
think
we're
losing
that
and
and
that's
and
by
the
way,
that's
all
an
egalitarian
Viewpoint,
because
if
you're
working
at
Price,
Chopper
or
you're
serving
cooladas,
you
can't
telecast,
so
working
in
person
has
become
like
what
the
proletariat
like
you
know
to
me.
This
is
crazy.
Well,.
D
You
know
so
I
mean
I,
guess
sorry,
no,
but
I
think
it
goes
back.
The
whole
piece
of
sort
of
some
of
the
questions
you
asked
from
my
earlier,
but
he's
tying
it
in
that
all
these
places
where
these
restaurants
are
are
sense
of
community.
Yes,
so
you
know
it
can
be.
You
know
you
know
like
a
little
section
in
the
Green,
Island
or
water
or
you
know,
or
or
whatever
leave
it
can
be.
You
know
Newton
Plaza.
D
D
Before
about
the
conversions
in
downtown
for
housing,
you
know
and
we've
had
a
lot
the
thing.
D
D
Because
you
had
the
pandemic
as
part
of
it,
and
you
know
the
employee
is
not
coming
back
and
and
then
and
then
and
then
you
have
it
even
where
it's
against
some
of
the
law
firms
which,
as
you
know
years
ago,
every
Law
Firm
wanted
me
in
downtown.
A
lot
of
them
now
are
saying:
okay,
we're
gonna,
have
a
smaller
office
and
we're
going
to
have
it
in
the
suburbs.
Instead,.
H
H
A
D
D
Of
it
might
depend
on
the
sector
because
again,
if
you
can
hire
from
anywhere
and
you're
afraid
you're
going
to
lose
people,
then
maybe
it's
not
as
as
much
so.
You
know
like
to
your
account.
I
have
one
of
my
you
know:
nephews
works
for
a
company
that
I
don't
even
know
where
the
company
is
headquartered,
but
he
he
likes
the.
A
D
C
A
I
H
H
F
H
On
the
train
and
she
couldn't
afford
to
live
in
the
city
and
went
back
to
visit
her
mother,
you
know
so
she
figured
that
out
how
she
could
work
remotely
from
Ohio,
because
it
was
cheaper
and
then
still
have
the
money
to
go.
Take
the
train.
You
know
to
visit
her
mother
in
Brooklyn
I
just
thought
that
was
like
wow,
that's,
not
something
we
ever
ever
fathomed
growing.
H
B
E
D
Exactly
you
know,
and
some
are
generally
the
way
that
Lynn
suggests
even
locally
based
companies,
so
that
now
would
be
Broadview.
But
but
you.
D
A
A
E
D
I'm
sure
there's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
case
studies
done
of
you,
know
the
impacts
and
what
and
the
certain
things
that
are
better.
You
know
where
you
know
you
can
certain
things
more
more,
but
I
still
think
it's
it's
hard.
When
you
miss
human
touch
and
then
part
of
you
know
what
you
know
all
of
us
around
this
table
will
do.
H
E
H
H
C
I
think
history
will
show
you
that
Society
changes
they
adapt
and
they
change,
and
you
know
for
us
that
are
used
to
one
way
of
living.
It
seems
kind
of
odd
with
the
young
people.
This
is
their
normal.
You
know
my
relatives
did
you
know
she
thinks
that
being
online
is
the
corporate,
a
culture
of
being
an
ivy
League
employee,
whereas
we
would
like
to
be
there
and
you
know,
see
the
architecture
and
be
around
the
people,
but
that
somebody
would
get
it
yes,.
G
Oh
yes,
with
a
lot
of
the
new
apartment
buildings
being
built
down
here
in
the
city,
the
the
project
and
then
the
one
further
down
the
street.
D
D
Know
what
what
are
they
trying
to
create
and
they're
trying
to
create
a
sense
of
place
and
I
know
people
want
to
come
and
they
want
to
have
a
place.
They
can
go
and
get
a
burger
or
pick
up
a
newspaper,
and
then
you
have
the
like.
I
forget
it
was
earlier,
is
the
switch
generation
of
thinking
we
have
our
long
time,
traditional
Albany
landlords,
and
this
is
what
the
micrograde
is
so
they're
driving
the
tenants
out
or
they
have.
The
you
know.
A
C
Well,
I,
look
at
the
apartment
and
the
market
for
movement,
Starbuck
Island,
you
know
they're
getting
a
premium
they're
100
occupied.
They
probably
have
100
people
on
a
waiting
list,
yeah
and
they're
getting
market
rate
rents,
but
they're
also
providing
a
country
club
atmosphere.
And
you
know
they
are.
It
isn't
just
rich
people
that
they're
pretty
young
a
lot
of
young
college,
educated
people
just
starting
out
they're
living
there
and
woman
and
I
love
it
myself.
I
go
my
my
new
office
is
the
coffee
shop
there,
but.
B
C
An
exception,
but
I
thought
you,
you
know:
I
I
agree
with
you.
I
thought
it
would
be.
They
would
price
a
lot
of
people
out,
but
a
lot
of
young
people
just
starting
out
are
moving
there
and
they're.
You
know
they
get
roommate
and
share
the
cost
yeah
they
just
love
it.
They
it's.
You
know
it's
Paradise,
Rebecca.
G
G
D
D
D
So
we
don't
really
need
it
from
that
component.
You
know
those
of
you
who
might
live
in
in
the
city
of
Albany
I.
Do
you
might
know
that
the
the
the
the
common
Council
passed
a
local
law
recently
that
the
real
concern
about,
because
they're
putting
they've
really
raised
the
level
of
the
the
amount
of
subsidized
housing
you
have
to
have
in
each
of
these
buildings?
Well,
then,
all.
D
Not
like
someone
objects
to
having
a
percentage,
but
a
percentage
is
so
high.
It
means
you
can't
financially
make
the
project
work,
and
you
know
for
the
first
time
in
the
last,
what
four
years
Albany
actually
has
positive
momentum.
You
know
and
bringing
new
residential
units
to
the
to
the
city.
We
haven't
had
that
for
a
long
time,
so
I
think
only
time
will
tell
if
there's
a
really
halt
things,
then,
if
so,
you
know
I
would
assume
the
common
Council
will
revisit
it.
A
D
Piece
that
I
thought-
maybe
you
were
going
to
ask
or
even
in
general
question
was
so
again
if
you
look
in
downtown.
So
if
the
the
first
sort
of
significant
building
that
was,
you
know,
you
know
renovated,
you
know
they
called
it.
The
Nick,
you
know
it's,
the
old
Knickerbocker
press
building
and
the
interact
with
people
come
from
and
everyone
that
went
into
those
those
units
was
from
the
capital
region
and
then
I
think
it
was
when
the
Kenmore
open
to
one
of
the
one
of
the
ones
on
Pearl
and
I'm
I'm.
A
D
The
comment
they
can
work
remote
if
they
originally
were
from
the
area
and
instead
of
paying
you
know,
3
500
a
month
for
rent
they're
going
to
pay
1800.
Instead,
they
did
that
now
the
challenge
is
going
to
be:
do
they
have
the
lifestyle
they
want?
Downtown,
vibrant
enough
for
them
to
stay
and
I
think
you
know
again.
E
C
Quickly,
well,
even
back
in
when
I
started,
important
Force
I
had
friends
that
worked
in
New,
York
City
and
lived
up
here
and
they
you
know
they
basically
made
double
salary
and
they
they
were,
they
did
commute
back
and
forth
every
four
days
or
so
so
that's
you
know
that
that's
been
going
on
for
decades,
but
even
more
so
now,
right.
E
D
F
D
You
know
versus
right
now
we
got
really
to
you
know
almost
the
retail
economy.
We
could
always
do
that
or
I
can
even
have
my
my
colleague,
Katie
Newcomb
who's,
our
chief
economic
development
officer
to
joined
me
all
right.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thanks
everybody
thanks
Mark
good
morning.
Thank
you
very
much
and
I'll
get
you
the
more
details.
Thank
you.
