A
I'm

many
renters
we

Thank
you
very
much
for
being
here
excellent.
What
about
single-family
home
owners?
Oh
good
and
condo
owners
got
a
good
mix
excellent.
What
about
people
here
with
nonprofit
organizations?
Anyone
here
with
nonprofits
great
business
community
government
get
a
lot
of
our
team
up
there
give
them
a
hand,
everyone
give
them
a
hand
Artie
our
housing
team
and
planning
team.
A
We
have
a
couple
special
guests:
Matt
D,
Ferrante
county
board,
member
erics
got
y'all.
I
saw
somewhere
back
in
the
back,
give
him
a
big
round
of
applause
anyways.
So
thanks
for
being
here
so
with
that
I'm,
just
gonna
get
right
in
the
program
and
turn
it
over
to
our
Arlington
County
manager.
Mr.
mark
Schwartz.
B
Thank
You
Bryan,
so
I
want
to
thank
you
all
for
coming
out
I'm
going
to
try
to
speak
very
briefly.
We
want
to
get
you
to
the
boards
and
all
the
work
that
we
have
to
do
so.
I
know
I've
been
hearing
a
lot
for
as
long
as
I've
lived
in
the
county
about
the
challenges
we
face
with
providing
housing
for
people
of
all
different
ages,
all
different
income
levels,
and
we
have
some
really
good
programs
in
the
county,
our
1/2
program,
affordable
housing,
investment
fund.
B
We
have
our
my
PAP
program,
which
provides
some
moderate
income
purchase
assistance.
Those
are
all
great
programs,
and
we
have
struggled
as
the
entire
region
has
struggled
for
many
years
with
the
question
of
affordability
for
all
people
across
the
spectrum
of
incomes,
and
so
what
we're
doing
here
with
housing
Arlington
is
we
really
want
to
challenge
you?
I've
talked
to
a
few
people.
B
I've
commented
that
in
the
past,
if
you've
come
to
the
county
and
we've
said,
we
don't
think
that's
going
to
work,
we
want
you
to
come
back
and
we're
going
to
make
it
work
crazy
ideas.
You
have
some
weird
ideas.
We
want
them,
we
want
to
really
challenge
you
and,
as
Claude
Williamson,
the
head
of
our
C
PhD
says
you
know,
bring
us
your
business
bring
it
on.
We
are
ready
for
you
to
challenge
us
in
ways
that
we
haven't
been
challenged
before
so
I'm
gonna
encourage
you
all
in
these
work
these.
B
When
you
go
to
these
stations,
if
you
got
a
crazy
idea,
lay
it
out
there
because
we're
gonna
analyze
it
and
do
what
we
can
so
a
few
questions
I
posed
this
the
other
month
when
I
was
talking
about.
These
are
a
few
ideas
that
aren't
mine
necessarily,
but
should
we
have
a
teacher
housing
be
part
of
our
school
projects?
Just
think
about
that?
B
What
what
types
of
new
land
and
zoning
land
use
and
Zoning
policy
should
we
look
at
we're
here
to
hear
all
of
that,
and
we
really
want
to
take
your
input,
whether
you're,
with
a
non-profit
or
with
a
business,
a
renter
or
a
buyer,
so
that
I'm
gonna
finish
up
with
that
and
I
just
one
other
thing
is
there's
there
should
be
a
banner
outside
Bryner.
Do
we
have
the
banner
outside
yeah,
wouldn't
materials,
we're
making
a
book
big
push
we're
starting
now
on
the
census,
2020,
and
it's
really
important
we're
trying
to
its
it.
B
So
in
April
of
2020
we
want
to
make
sure
we
count
everybody,
it's
incredibly
important
for
us
when
it
comes
to
funding
and
also
given
the
environment
where
we're
living
in
now
where
some
people
are
not
as
anxious
to
have
their
names
register
as
part
of
the
census.
We're
have
a
goal
of
getting
a
thousand
partners
for
our
census
program.
We
are
up
to
40
so
by
the
end
of
the
night
tonight.
B
C
Good
evening
my
name
is
Christian
Dorsey,
chair
of
the
Arlington
County
Board
and
I
want
to
thank
you
for
joining
us
tonight
for
the
official
kickoff
for
housing
Arlington
now,
housing
Arlington
is
an
exciting
opportunity
for
our
entire
community
to
come
together
to
identify
the
challenges
and
create
the
solutions
for
enhancing
housing
affordability
across
Arlington.
We
are
fortunate
that
our
community,
like
many
others,
is
one
with
an
evolving
economy
and
a
growing
population.
C
However,
we
have
been
less
successful,
absorbing
that
growth
without
displacing
others,
typically,
those
who
earn
lower
incomes
and
we've
also
been
less
successful
in
providing
housing
types
that
suit
the
needs
of
a
diverse
community.
Now,
despite
robust
and
with
all
objectivity
best
in
Virginia
efforts,
we
have
also
seen
a
loss
of
affordable
housing
units
and
a
shortage
of
moderately
priced
homeownership
options
over
the
last
several
years,
and
we
know
that
this
is
a
regional
issue
that
will
require
regional
solutions.
C
C
This
includes
housing
for
teachers,
police
officers
and
firefighters
for
young
adults
just
starting
their
careers
or
older
adults
who
want
to
age
in
place
right
here
in
Arlington,
and
we
also
want
to
make
sure
that
the
many
households
that
constitute
our
broad
middle-class
but
who
are
nonetheless
burden
by
unaffordable
housing
costs
have
a
home
here
in
Arlington
and
we
are
committed
to
supporting
our
lowest
income
residents,
who
may
need
additional
housing
assistance,
regardless
of
who
you
are
your
income?
Your
background,
your
age
or
your
experience.
C
We
want
to
make
sure
that
anyone
who
wants
to
live
in
Arlington
can
find
an
affordable
solution.
But
in
order
for
us
to
live
this
dream,
we
must
begin
to
identify
creative
solutions.
Together,
we
have
to
be
able
to
think
outside
of
our
traditional
policies
and
programs.
We
can't
allow
satisfaction
with
being
good,
suppress
our
motivation
from
becoming
better
and
as
a
first
step.
C
The
County
Board
voted
just
last
week
to
amend
our
zoning
ordinance
to
allow
detached
accessory
dwellings,
giving
existing
homeowners
additional
options
for
rental
income
while
at
the
same
time
offering
a
reasonably
priced
rental
unit,
and
we
need
to
continue
to
explore
other
possibilities
as
well.
As
you
will
hear
tonight,
our
staff
team
has
started
to
pull
together
some
initial
thoughts
on
how
to
take
a
more
proactive
and
comprehensive
approach
to
expand
finance
planning
and
zoning
and
policy
tools
to
address
the
full
spectrum
of
housing.
Affordability.
C
Now
this
comprehensive
approach
will
delight
the
policy
wonks
among
us,
but
make
no
mistake.
This
policy
approach
is
driven
by
an
absolute
imperative
to
see
that
growth
be
inclusive
and
to
reap
the
benefits
that
housing
security
for
our
community
will
provide,
such
as
reducing
displacement
will
allow
our
children
not
to
have
gaps
in
their
education,
increasing
their
ability
to
learn
and
grow,
and
if
households
are
unburdened
by
housing
costs,
they
have
more
to
spend
at
local
businesses
and
the
resources
to
invest
toward
their
successful
futures.
C
Now
Libby
Katie,
Eric,
Matt
and
I,
along
with
the
incredible
team
working
under
the
direction
of
the
county
manager,
want
to
work
with
you
and
others
in
Arlington,
as
well
as
those
across
the
region,
to
sustainably
increase
our
housing
supply
and
diversify
the
housing
types
that
will
better
serve
the
needs
of
our
diverse
community
while
harmoniously
enhancing
our
existing
neighborhoods
and
communities.
Now
tonight's
kickoff
is
just
the
first
of
many
opportunities
to
join
us
in
identifying
solutions
to
address
housing,
affordability
in
Arlington.
Thank
you
for
joining
us.
A
A
little
bit
from
mr.
Dorsey
and
we
have
a
couple
other
people
I
just
wanted
to
recognize
cloud
Williamson,
our
Director
of
Planning
and
urban
development,
housing
development
and
Samia
bird
who's,
our
deputy
county
manager.
So
thank
you
guys
with
that.
You
know
Christian
mentioned
and
Mark
mentioned.
This
is
not
an
arlington
only
issue.
Housing
I
was
in
a
meeting
last
week
with
some
folks
from
Portland.
Oregon
housing
is
a
challenge
in
a
lot
of
places
in
it's
a
challenge
here.
So
with
that
we're
really
excited.
A
D
Okay,
I
would
have
stayed
down
there,
but
the
clicker
is
here
so
I'll
speak
to
you
from
here.
So
before
I,
go
into
my
remarks
and
I'm
just
going
to
talk
quickly
about
some
national
and
regional
trends
so
that
we
have
a
sense
of
kind
of
where
Arlington
is
placed
in
the
larger
housing
context.
I
wanted
to
just
give
a
brief
introduction
of
the
Urban
Institute,
so
the
Urban
Institute
is
a
research
organization,
nonpartisan
nonprofit
just
across
the
river
here
in
Washington
DC,
and
we
use
the
power
of
evidence
to
try
to
improve
people's
lives.
D
So
we
work
a
lot
with
national
stakeholders
and
I
am
incredibly
happy
to
work
with
local
and
regional
stakeholders
as
well
through
our
urban,
greater
DC
partnership.
So
some
of
the
regional
statistics
that
I'll
talk
about
today
have
been
produced
through
that
initiative,
see
okay,
so
national
trends.
So
many
of
you
probably
already
know
this,
but
we're
in
a
very
tight
housing
situation,
not
just
here
in
Virginia
or
in
Arlington
but
nationally,
and
this
is
driven
by
both
rising
housing
costs
and
stagnant
wages,
and
the
outcome
is
that
nearly
a
third.
D
D
So
here
in
the
region,
we're
going
to
see
a
lot
of
the
same
types
of
trends.
We've
actually
had
really
strong
growth
in
employment
in
the
DC
region,
but
we
know
that
there's
more,
that
can
come
in
the
future,
because
if
we
look
host
the
recession,
we
see
that
the
sort
of
we
haven't
rebounded
fully
in
terms
of
employment
and
so
there's
more
growth
to
come,
and
we
really
need
to
make
sure
that
the
housing
supply
keeps
pace.
D
But
despite
this,
we
we
see
that
wages
are
actually
very
stagnant
so
again
similar
to
the
national
picture
and,
interestingly,
since
2010
in
the
region,
we
we
were
keeping
up
in
terms
of
housing
supply
and
since
2010
we
have
not
been
keeping
up
in
terms
of
keeping
up
with
population
growth.
So
the
whole
region
has
a
good
ways
to
go
in
terms
of
creating
more
housing,
and
this
has
led
in
large
part
to
increases
in
both
housing
sort
of
owner-occupied
single-family
housing,
as
well
as
rental
housing.
D
So
on
the
left,
you'll
see
that,
since
about
2012,
this
is
single-family.
Housing
and
the
various
jurisdictions
have
been
increasing
and
rental
prices
on
the
right
there
and
the
chart
have
also
been
increasing
and
just
to
put
this
in
perspective.
The
average
for
the
DC
region
is
about
3.8
percent
in
terms
of
the
increase
in
rental
prices,
and
what
we
know
is
that
other
places
like
Seattle,
San,
Francisco,
even
Houston
and
Atlanta,
actually
have
much
higher
percentages.
D
So
we
are
by
far
not
the
worst
region
in
terms
of
this
statistic,
but
we
could
do
a
lot
more
and
then,
finally,
because
of
some
of
the
trends
that
I've
already
talked
about,
we
see
a
good
amount
of
cost
burden.
So
on
the
left,
you
see
renters
on
the
right
owners
and
the
folks
on
the
in
the
blue
bars
are
paying
30%
of
their
rent
towards
housing
and
those
with
the
yellow
bars
are
paying
50%
or
more
so
are
severely
cost
burdened
and
again,
this
is
the
DC
region.
D
So
what
to
do
about
this?
So
we
have
actually
embarked
on
a
research
study
looking
at
all
of
the
policy
tools
that
are
available
to
policymakers
here
in
the
DC
region
and
have
started
to
estimate
the
impacts
that
these
policy
tools
could
have
on
addressing
some
of
the
challenges
that
I've
talked
about
tonight.
So
this
research
is
of
still
in
progress
and
we
hope
to
have
it
out
by
the
summer.
D
They
need
to
be
in
partnership
with
other
organizations
and
that
other
places
need
to
be
supporting
them.
So
the
federal
government
really
has
a
role
to
play
in
providing
more
funding
for
the
lowest
income.
Households.
State
governments
need
to
be
giving
counties
like
Arlington
the
ability,
through
authority
and
funding,
to
implement
some
of
these
housing
policies,
and
then,
lastly,
you
know
businesses.
D
Local
businesses
can
set
the
table
and
help
to
bring
multiple
actors
together
and
then,
of
course,
philanthropies.
We
hope
will
be
sort
of
championing
the
most
vulnerable
residents
and
providing
additional
funding
and
support
to
such
efforts.
So
I
know
that
later
this
evening,
you'll
be
hearing
more
about
housing.
Arlington
and
I
know
that
several
of
the
the
types
of
things
that
I've
talked
about
will
be
covered
in
the
various
initiatives.
D
E
Attempt
to
multitask
here
with
some
water
or
so
be
careful.
The
front
row
welcome
to
Harlan
housing
Arlington
the
kickoff
event
for
tonight.
We're
glad
you've
chosen
to
be
with
us
tonight.
We
have
an
exciting
evening
planned
and
by
the
end
of
it
we
hope
you'll
have
a
better
understanding
of
what
housing
Arlington
is
what
it
is,
why
it's
important
and
how
you
can
be
involved
and
help
most
important
point
about
tonight's
meeting
is
hear
the
presentations
and
visit
the
stations
afterwards
is
to
provide
you
get
more
information.
E
Is
to
give
us
your
your
input,
your
ideas,
your
opinions
and
concerns.
We
put
a
lot
of
thought
into
housing,
Arlington
and
the
kickoff
is
our
opportunity
to
hear
from
you,
but
first
I
want
to
set
the
stage
before
providing
you
with
a
the
overview.
I
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
some
history.
I
think
you
all
know,
Arlington
is
a
great
place
to
work,
live
and
play
it's
a
great
place
because
of
the
decades
long
planning
and
investments
the
counties
made
to
strengthen
the
community
back
in
the
1970s
you'll.
E
Remember
the
metro
came
and
the
County
investments
that
support
of
that
infrastructure,
schools,
parks
and
more
Arlington
has
become
one
of
the
most
sought-after
places
in
the
region
and
probably
in
the
country,
we're
growing
more
people
want
to
live
here
close
to
their
jobs
and
to
benefit
from
the
services
that
the
county
provides
and
the
stores
and
businesses
that
have
chosen
to
make
Arlington
their
home.
Between
now
and
twenty
forty,
you
can
see
we're
going
to
add
almost
30,000
households
over
the
next
20
years.
E
E
Another
consequence
of
that
woops,
the
economy's
changing
used
to
be
that
this
was
a
government
town.
But
now
the
economy
is
evolving
and
there's
there.
Employers
want
to
locate
here
we're
developing
a
great
mix
of
federal
service,
academic
and
private
sector,
including
the
tech
sector.
It's
a
wonderful
time
to
be
in
Arlington.
E
But
the
costs
are
rising
because
our
only
tends
a
great
place
to
live,
work
and
play
housing
prices
continue
to
rise,
and
you
can
see
on
the
screen
here.
The
average
home
value
is
nearly
six
hundred
sixty
thousand
dollars,
and
the
price
of
a
new
single-family
home
is
over
a
million
dollars.
Rents
are
rising
to
the
average
two-bedroom
rent
is
about
twenty
five
hundred
dollars
per
month,
but
rising
prices
are
a
sign
of
a
healthy
housing
market.
E
Here's
the
supply
is
tight
in
our
housing
market
and
the
market
economy.
However,
because
of
low
and
moderate
wage
households
are
not
keeping
pace
with
the
rents
or
sales
prices,
the
market
does
not
produce
enough
affordable
housing
to
people
with
low
and
moderate
incomes.
Clerical
workers,
day
care
providers,
hotel
employees,
cab
drivers,
teachers,
police,
firefighters
and
more,
as
this
graphic
shows,
there's
a
current
shortage
of
about
9,000
units
for
households
earning
below
fifty
and
sixty
thousand
dollars
per
year.
E
There
are
also
very
few
new
house
ownership
opportunities
produced
for
under
four
hundred
and
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
per
year,
but
here
are
the
main
ways
that
we
can.
We
can
expand
housing,
affordability
and
I
know.
There's
the
Urban
Institute
has
this
moniker
of
produce,
preserve
and
protect,
and
this
is
consistent
with
that.
So
we
have
currently
2100
rental
units
in
the
pipeline
either
just
completed
under
construction
or
ready
to
be
built
for
households
earning
approximately
thirty
to
eighty-five
thousand
dollars
per
year
of
the
2150
units,
700
are
being
preserved.
E
E
Here's
an
example
of
how
we
can
get
more
housing
and
more
affordable
housing.
Union
on
Queen
is
a
partnership
between
a
nonprofit
and
for-profit
development.
Union
Queens
start
out
as
Pierce
Queen,
50
garden
apartments,
mainly
ones
and
twos.
The
Fort
Myer
Heights
North
planning
process
that
was
in
last
about
10
days
ago,
allowed
them
to
preserve
part
of
the
the
development
and
redevelop
art
of
the
site.
20
of
the
original
50
units
were
preserved
and
converted
into
12
three-bedroom
units.
E
The
arlington
of
2019,
a
growing
population
in
evolving
and
growing
economy,
rising
prices,
coupled
with
a
relative
lack
of
supply
and
uneven
income
growth,
creates
a
challenge
for
us
and
raises
the
question:
how
do
we
ensure
living
in
Arlington
is
synonymous
with
an
equitable,
stable
adaptive
community?
Another
way
of
saying
is
this:
how
do
we
preserve
and
produce
a
supply
of
housing
that
allows
households
of
lower
moderate
wages
or
the
most
vulnerable
community,
older
disabled
persons,
with
fixed
incomes
or
limited
incomes
that
want
to
age
in
place?
How
do
we
have?
E
How
do
we
help
them
call
Arlington
home?
How
do
we
protect
the
housing
they
currently
live
in?
How
do
we
create
housing
for
households
earning
too
much
for
affordable
units,
but
they
don't
earn
enough
for
the
market
rate
housing?
These
are
the
challenges
we
face
as
we
look
to
the
future
housing
Arlington
is
our
response,
an
initiative
called
for
by
the
County
Board
and
to
be
implemented
by
staff
and
many
partners
in
this
room
and
its
core.
E
It
consists
of
six
initiatives
that,
if
we
are
successful,
will
result
in
both
preserved
and
more
housing
units
from
Arlen,
Toni
ins,
all
walks
of
life.
We
anticipate
this
work
will
take
place
between
now
and
x3
years.
Looking
the
six
initiatives
will
focus
our
efforts
in
three
main
ways,
we'll
be
looking
everywhere
for
better
ways
to
incentivize
the
housing.
We
want
innovations
and
best
practices
that
we
can
implement
here
in
Arlington,
we'll
be
reaching
out
and
being
more
proactive
in
a
comprehensive
way.
E
We'll
come
to
you
seeking
your
ideas,
county
manager
and
the
County
Board
Chair
Christian
have
said
we
want
ideas
and
we
want
them
from
you
early
and
often
we
will
strengthen
existing
partnerships
and
create
partnerships
that
may
not
have
existed.
There's
such
a
wealth
of
resource
in
this
region
that
we
better
tap
into
the
first
of
the
initiatives
is
land
use
tools.
Land
use
tools
are
ways
to
incentivize
and
create
the
type
of
housing
we
need.
They
don't
cost
us
any
money.
Land
use
tools
include
making
adjustments
to
our
plans
and
ordinances.
E
Other
efforts
include
looking
at
our
bonus
density,
ordinance
for
affordable
housing
and
Lee
Highway
study
the
board
just
amended
the
zoning
ordinance
to
allow
the
creation
of
D
tasks
successfully
dwelling
these
could
allow
a
lower-cost
unit
or
a
place
in
a
house
or
relative
to
help
a
family
agent
place.
Next
is
our
financing
tools.
E
Financial
tools
are
a
combination
of
county
funds,
private
funds,
sometimes
federal
funds
and
tax
credits,
preserve
existing
homes,
produce
more
affordable
rental
housing
and
help
low-income
households
stay
in
their
housing
through
federal
or
local
rental
assistance.
Within
the
housing
Arlington
initiative,
we
will
look
for
ways
to
attract
more
and
different
sources.
We
have
met
with
groups
such
as
jb
g
smith
and
national
housing
trust
to
explore
ways
for
them
to
enter
the
arlington
market.
E
We
look
for
better
ways
to
better
leverage
our
existing
resources,
such
as
the
affordable
housing
investment
fund,
to
make
it
go
further.
We
will
also
explore
other
sources,
including
a
state
Virginia
Housing
Development
Authority
has
committed
fifteen
million
dollars
each
year
for
five
years.
We
want
as
much
of
those
funds
spent
in
arlington
and
alexander
as
we
can
get
for
viable
developments
and
programs.
We
look
to
the
philanthropic
sector
for
potential
ways
to
expand
or
deepen
affordability,
institutional
partnerships.
E
We
have
great
examples
of
partnerships
between
nonprofit
developers,
churches
and
community
serving
institutions
as
well
as
other
funders
to
create
housing.
Over
the
past
decade,
the
county
has
assisted
seven
developments
that
contain
850
rental
units.
These
range
from
the
already
completed
v-point
and
the
arlington
milk
apartments
to
the
approved
and
awaiting
funding
of
the
American
Legion
and
the
Red
Cross
site
developments.
We
will
work
with
our
local
nonprofits,
the
Alliance
for
housing
solutions
in
a
national
group,
Enterprise
Community
Foundation
to
further
develop
this
initiative.
E
If
we're
successful
with
this
initiative,
we
can
get
the
same
number
of
units
in
half
the
time.
The
next
one
is
county,
employee
housing.
We
think
the
community
benefits
when
the
county
and
school
employees
live
here.
This
initiative
will
look
at
current
ways
to
incentivize
them
to
own
or
rent
in
arlington
and
explore
successful
models
elsewhere.
The
soon
as
this
initiative
develops
more,
we
also
look
for
other
employers
that
they
made
to
be
interested
in
to
join
us
as
we
look
at
ways
to
help
their
employees
live
here.
E
We've
already
initiated
conversations
and
with
leadership
in
the
fire
Police
Public
Safety
and
Arlington
Public
Schools
we're
excited
about
the
possibilities
of
helping
our
employees
who
want
to
live
here
find
ways.
The
fifth
initiative
is
a
condominium
initiative.
Existing
condominiums
form
the
backbone
of
Arlington's,
affordable
and
moderately
priced
ownership
stock.
E
There
are
about
28,000
condominiums
in
the
county
and
about
roughly
20,000
of
those
based
on
assessments
are
priced
at
a
more
moderate
range
which
again
in
May
it's
it's
moderate,
and
the
price
range
is
about
four
to
five
hundred
thousand
dollars,
we'll
look
at
ways
to
help
preserve
and
strengthen
them,
including
various
forms
of
technical
assistance,
helping
with
governance,
repair
and
financing
options.
We
will
explore
financing
sources
to
assist
where
there
are
needs
for
capital
and
other
repairs.
E
And
finally,
the
last
initiative
was
updating
the
affordable
housing
master
plan,
the
county
board
adopted
in
2015
and
it's
time
for
review
beginning
in
early
2020,
we'll
update
it
looking
at
the
needs
analysis,
we'll
engage
the
community
on
what
the
analysis
suggests
and
finally,
we'll
review,
if
necessary
and
revised
policies
to
bring
the
update
and
any
changes
or
recommendations
to
the
county
board
and
back
to
tonight.
This
concludes
the
brief
overview
of
housing
Arlington.
E
After
the
event
tonight,
there's
other
ways
to
find
us:
we've
got
on
the
website
via
email
on
the
phone
we'll
work
throughout
the
summer.
It
will
be
likely
advanced
in
the
fall
for
you
to
attend
and
participate
in.
We're
really
really
glad
you're
here
now
I'm
going
to
turn
the
mic
back
over
to
Bryan
a
Helfer,
our
communications
director,
to
describe
how
the
rest
of
the
evening
will
flow.
Thank
you
for
your
attention
and
participation
and
joining
us
tonight.
This.
A
Is
the
beginning,
as
Mark
said,
would
you
say
we're
open
for
business?
This
is
just
what
you're
gonna
see
tonight
is
just
early
thoughts.
So
thank
you
for
being
here.
The
cafeteria
is,
if
you
go
out
the
door
turn
right
and
turn
left.
We
have
staff
in
the
hallway
directing
and
let's
hear
from
you
tonight,
thank
you.
