If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
A
So
in
my
department
I
spend
my
evenings
about
four
nights
a
week
out
at
meetings
all
over
the
city
talking
to
residents
finding
out.
What's
going
on,
I
might
have
seen
a
couple
of
you
at
your
local
meetings.
We
also
handle
all
the
constituent
work
for
the
mayor's
office.
We
were
created
to
you
know
as
a
one-stop
one-stop
government
shop.
So
when
you've
got
a
question,
it
doesn't
really
fit
in
anywhere
you're
having
trouble
finding
out
what's
going
on,
those
calls
usually
end
up
with
us
and
we
figure
out
how
to
fix
them.
A
A
B
Okay,
they're
they're,
oh
yeah.
This
is
a
strange
microphone.
Hi
everybody,
my
name
is
natalia
rudiak.
I
am
the
city
council
person
from
our
southernmost
neighborhoods,
so
I
represent
carrick
overbrook,
bonaire
beach
view
brookline
and
a
little
bit
of
the
southern
part
of
mount
washington.
I
also
represent
mckinley
park
and
beltsover
just
the
park
though,
but
we
work
with
them
with
the
hilltop
residents
on
on
park
planning
and
things
like
that.
So
there
is
so
much
that
I
could
cover
with
regards
to
city
council
and
how
it
works.
B
I
mean
we
could
probably
I
mean
we
could
fill
a
six
week
session
on
just
city
council.
So
it's
it's
sort
of
hard
to
figure
out
what
to
distill
in
in
15
minutes
and
I'll
probably
take
half
of
that,
because
I
want
to
get
your
questions
too.
So
I'll,
just
zip
through
some
of
this
pretty
quickly.
But
as
you
know,
city
council
is
divided
into
nine
city
council
districts.
They
roughly
have
about
35
000
people,
each
every
10
years,
they're
redistricting,
due
because
of
changing
census
data.
B
So
I
represent
city
council
district
four,
and
just
a
little
bit
about
me
is
that
I
actually
grew
up
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
I
grew
up
in
carrick.
I
live
in
the
neighborhood,
where
I
grew
up
and
obviously
represent
the
district.
Where
I
grew
up,
I
went
to
pittsburgh
public
schools.
My
background
is
actually
an
international
development.
I
wanted
to
be
a
diplomat.
I
mean
I
sort
of
am
right
now.
I
guess
you
could
say.
B
B
I
ran
for
an
open
seat
and
you
know
there's
a
there's,
a
real
big
difference
between
politics
and
governing
and
it's
quite
it
was
it's
quite
an
experience
to
run
for
office.
I've
given
talks
where
I've
talked
a
little
bit
about
how
to
do
that.
B
Frankly,
I
didn't
have
the
support
of
the
mayor.
I
didn't
have
the
support
of
the
ward
boss.
I
didn't
I
didn't
have
a
lot
of
quote
unquote
institutional
support,
but
I
had
a
big
grassroots
campaign,
so
I
door
knocked
the
whole
district.
Three
and
a
half
times
spent
a
lot
of
time
in
people's
living
rooms
a
lot
of
time
in
people's
porches,
and
I
think
it's
really
really
important
as
an
elected
official.
B
To
do
that,
I
mean
for
better
or
worse
as
an
elected
official
as
a
candidate
people
put
their
hopes
and
fears
and
and
dreams
on
you
and
you
really.
It's
just
amazing
that
you
can
start
out
as
a
stranger
speaking
door-to-door
and
then
today
you
know
some
of
my
closest
community
volunteers
and
community
leaders
are
literally
people
who
I
do
stores
I
knocked
on
in
2009..
B
So
I
still
take
those
experiences
with
me
every
day
as
I
govern
so
again,
I
was
elected
in
2009,
starting
in
january,
of
2010
was
re-elected
in
2013,
so
this
is
my
sixth
year
on
council.
My
second
term,
I'm
currently
the
chair
of
the
finance
and
law
committee.
So
I
get
a
lot
more
work
without
more
staff,
but
that's
okay
and
just
as
a
basic
overview
of
city
council.
B
B
B
Wednesdays
are
what
we
call
our
standing
committee
meetings,
so
it
gets
a
little
confusing.
We
have
committees
of
the
whole,
so
we
have
say
the
chair
of
the
public
works
every
every
every
council
person
is
the
chair
of
a
different
committee.
So
you'll
have
the
chair
of
the
public
works
committee,
the
chair
of
the
public
safety
committee.
B
I
clearly
am
the
chair
of
the
finance
and
law
committee
et
cetera,
et
cetera,
and
all
of
that
is
written
into
our
city
council
rules,
but
essentially
every
member
of
council
is
a
member
of
every
committee,
so
on
wednesdays
or
where
we
have
our
committee
meetings
and
that's
where
we
discuss
legislation
in
depth.
B
B
But
so
legislation
is
introduced
through
different
committees
based
on
the
content
of
the
legislation
and
again
we
discuss
them
and
some
of
them
are
approval
of
contracts.
Some
of
them
are
approval
of
expenditures,
other
pieces
of
legislation.
Clearly,
council
members
can
introduce
pieces
of
legislation
that
they
write
and
I
mean
there's
there's
a
little
bit
of
everything.
B
I
mean
I'm
looking
at
our
agenda
today
and
it
was
about
nine
nine
pages
long
with
I
mean
we
talked
about
ever
and
that's
what
I
love
about
this
job
is
that
we
talked
about
everything
from
grant
funding
to
the
knoxville
library
to
public
process
for
naming
public
facilities
to
talking
about
the
process
by
which
police
officers
are
hired
to
different
warrants
for
the
law
department.
I
mean
it
really
really
runs
the
gamut
in
addition
to
our
tuesday
and
wednesday
meetings.
B
We
also
have
what
are
called
post
agenda
hearings,
so
any
member
can
make
a
motion
to
hold
a
post
agenda
and
essentially
what
a
post
agenda
is
is
an
informational
hearing
where
you
bring
subject
matter
experts
to
the
table
to
discuss
a
particular
issue
in
depth,
so
gosh
I
just
actually
proposed
paid
leave
legislation
for
city
employees,
and
so
I
just
a
few
weeks
ago-
I
guess
a
month
or
two
ago,
at
this
point
I
held
a
post
agenda
on
paid
leave
and
and
why
that's
valuable
and
why
that's
beneficial
and
really
you
could
have
a
post
agenda
on
an
anything
that
that
you
want.
B
So
that's
interesting,
there's
also
public
hearings
and
any
member
can
motion
for
a
public
hearing
on
any
particular
topic.
Also.
I
think
this
is
a
little
known
fact:
that's
written
into
our
rules,
but
any
citizen
can
actually
trigger
a
public
hearing
by
submitting
a
petition
to
the
city
clerk's
office
with
the
name
and
addresses
of
25
registered
voters.
B
Sometimes
public
hearings
are
built
into
the
code,
so
that's
that's
an
overview
of
the
kinds
of
meetings
that
that
we
have
officially
speaking
as
far
as
a
typical
day.
There
really
is
no
typical
day
I
mean
and
again
that's
what
I
love
about.
This
position
is
that
we
just
cover
so
much
ground.
B
So,
for
example,
today
I
started
my
day
at
8
am
this
morning
in
rosslyn
farms,
where
I
actually
gave
a
presentation
to
the
commercial
real
estate
association,
where
I
talked
about
different
investment
opportunities
in
south
pittsburgh
and
there
were
about
30
folks
in
the
room,
engineering
firms
and
real
estate
developers.
So
I
talked
a
little
bit
about
the
dairy
district
and
carrick
some
buildings
on
broadway
avenue
that
we're
trying
to
market
a
potential
park
and
ride
on
route
51
where
we're
looking
for
a
developer.
B
B
But
essentially
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
increase
the
quality
of
child
care
provision
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
and
we
there's
three
different
pieces
of
pieces
of
legislation
that
are
doing
that
and
one
of
the
pieces
of
legislation
was
to
create
a
task
force
of
child
care
providers,
get
them
together
with
city
directors
like
the
director
of
public
safety,
the
director
of
planning,
the
director
of
permits
and
licensing
sort
of
as
a
focus
group.
So
providers
can
provide
feedback
on
what's
working
for
them
and
the
permitting
process.
B
What's
not,
you
know
what
kind
of
public
safety
thing
issues
they're
having
etc,
and
what
we
also
did
is
we
carved
out
250
000
from
the
budget
for
a
loan,
slash
grant
program
for
child
care
providers
to
improve
their
quality
of
care,
and
that
could
be
used
for
everything
from
we're
still
working
out
the
details.
But
the
idea
is
that
it
could
be
used
in
everything
from
buying
a
stainless
steel
sink
to
erecting
a
fence
to
professional
development.
B
These
are
things
that
you
need
in
order
to
have
a
certain
kind
of
licensing
by
the
by
the
by
the
state,
so
we're
trying
to
bring
some
underground
providers
out
of
the
shadows
and
bring
them
into
into
licensing
and
higher
quality.
B
We
get
a
couple
thousand
calls
a
year
and
again,
you
know
we
work
on
high
level
policy
issues
in
city,
council
offices
and
we
issue
we
deal
with
rats
in
the
vacant
lot.
Next
to
your
house,
I
mean
that's
the
gamut
of
the
issues
that
we
run
and
so
when
there's
always
that
tension
between
focusing
on
district
specific
initiatives
and
focusing
on
citywide
initiatives
and
that's
constantly
something.
You
know
that
my
office
is
trying
to
balance.
B
And
so
I
mean
there's
no
sort
of
easy
answer
to
that.
But
you
know
I'm
clearly,
I'm
trying
to
market
the
district
and
different
economic
development
opportunities,
but
also
as
the
chair
of
finance
and
law,
I'm
trying
to
balance
the
budget
of
500
million
dollars
and
make
sure
that
you
know
we're
doing
everything
we
can
to
think
creatively
about
revenue
and
cost
savings.
And
things
like
that.
A
C
B
That
is
a
really
really
good
question
part
I
mean
part
of
the
challenge.
Is
that
what
I've,
what
I
have
found
as
an
elected
official,
this
is
just
sort
of
factual,
is
that
when
I
try
to
work
with
the
different
student
associations
and
things
like
that,
I'll
build
a
relationship
with
someone,
and
you
know
two
or
three
years
later,
they're
they've
they've
moved
on.
So
it's
it's
sort
of
hard
to
find
that
base.
But
you
know
I
get
this.
B
The
irony
is
I
get
the
same
question
from
the
other
side
like
when
I
go
to
college.
I
just
was
speaking
at
chatham
university
and
I
got
a
question
from
a
student
about
well.
How
do
I
get
involved?
How
do
I
get
engaged-
and
you
know-
there's
no
magic
bullet,
but
I
tell
folks
to
get
involved
with
their
local
chapters
at
their
university,
with
whatever
political
affiliation
that
they
have
to
obviously
get
involved
and
to
get
involved
with
different
campaigns
that
they
might
be
interested
in.
B
B
I
would
also
argue
that
by
making
our
cities
livable
and
making
our
neighborhoods
livable
for
the
young
people
who
already
live
here-
that,
by
extension,
we're
going
to
have
those
same
amenities
to
keep
some
of
you
know
out
of
town
students.
Here
you
know
I
I
remember
when
I
first
moved
back
to
pittsburgh,
one
of
the
mantras
was
well.
You
know
we
need
to
keep
college
students
here.
We
need
to
cut
college
students
here
and
growing
up
in
carrick.
I
would
think
to
myself
like
well
what
about
the
people
who
are
already
here?
B
What
about
the
young
people
who
already
live
in
our
neighborhoods?
You
know
they
need
jobs,
they
need
opportunities,
they
need.
You
know
things
to
do
amenities,
so
you
know
that's.
My
focus
in
the
neighborhoods
is,
is
doing
everything
from
looking
at
our
recreation
centers
to
summer
youth
programs
to
just
even
quality
of
life,
issues
to
make
sure
that
we're
doing
everything
we
can
to
keep
young
people
here.
D
Hi,
I
was
just
wondering
if
you
could
talk
a
little
bit
about
some
of
your
core
values
and
how
that
informs
like
how
you
look
at
legislation
and
decide
whether
or
not
it
would
be
something
to
pass
or
not.
B
So
when
I
first
ran
for
office
my
platform,
three
tenets
of
my
platform,
one
is
to
protect
our
neighborhoods
from
crime
and
neglect.
Two
is
to
rebuild
our
business
districts
and
three
is
to
restore
public
trust,
and
I
had
that
on
a
piece
of
butcher
paper
like
in
my
office
on
the
back
of
my
door,
so
anything
that
I
did.
I
would
it's
almost
like
a
strategic
plan.
Right,
like
I
would
think
to
myself
like
how
is
this?
How
is
this
helping
one
of
these
tenants?
B
But
that
by
extension,
is,
I
think,
a
way
of
restoring
public
trust
and
and
and
trying
to
put
out
as
much
information
as
possible.
So
the
public
can
can
see
what
we're
doing
and
nothing's
like
hidden
behind
a
curtain
or
whatever
you
know.
I
would
also
say
my
mother
is
actually
an
immigrant
to
this
country.
My
mother
is
from
poland
and
growing
up.
I
would
spend
my
summers
in
poland,
where
my
cousins
didn't
have
as
much
as
I
did,
and
I
mean
I
grew
up
in
a
working
class
family.
B
I
mean
I
didn't
really
have
that
much
to
to
in
the
first
place,
but
I
think
that
seeing
what
my
family
overseas
was
going
through
and
the
lack
of
freedom
and
the
lack
of
economic
opportunities
that
they
had
really
reinforced
that
no
matter
what
country
you
live
in
or
what
zip
code
you
live
in,
you
should
never
be.
You
should
never
have
that
lack
of
opportunity
or
lack
of
access
to
opportunity.
B
B
And
just
one
more
thing,
I
I
do
have
some
guys
these
are
these
are
sort
I
mean
there's
a
lot
of
helpful
information
in
here.
You
can
pass
these
out.
There's
some
information.
These
are.
These
are
guides
that
my
district
puts
out
that
have
some
city
phone
numbers
in
them.
B
If
you
live
in
south
pittsburgh,
great
a
lot
of
that
information
is
tailored
to
you.
If
you
don't,
I
think
it'll
still
be
helpful,
but
again
that's
the
type
of
stuff
that
my
office
puts
together.
Not
every
office
does
things
a
little
bit
differently,
but
this
is
something
that
my
office
does
and
and
hands
out
at
meetings,
and
things
like
that-
and
I
actually
do
have
some
information
on
south
pittsburgh
development
opportunities.
B
It's
actually
the
presentation
that
I
gave
this
morning
to
the
commercial
real
estate
association.
So,
if
anybody's
interested
in
this,
I
could
leave
some
copies
with
you.
If,
if
anybody's
from
south
pittsburgh
would
be
interested
to
see
the
kind
of
things
that
we're
doing-
and
I
think
that
is
all
wonderful.
E
So
it's
not
a
criticism,
but
are
there
any
any
veterans
or
boy
scouts
or
girl
scouts
in
the
audience?
None,
no
veteran.
So
the
thing
that
they
always
teach
you
is
here
you
go.
Oh
the
american
flag
always
goes
to
the
right.
B
E
E
We
have
the
state
next
and
then
allegheny
county
and
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
So
that's
just
a
little
lesson
that
I
learned
over
in
council
because
we
had
the
flags
wrong
and
then
I
I
remember
tom
murphy
had
them,
and
then
I
told
his
press
secretary,
craig
kuczynski,
and
I
said
you
know
you
have
the
flags
the
wrong
way,
because
we
like
it
that
way
and
they're
like
you,
really
don't
get
a
choice.
It
always
is
to
the
right
to
the
left.
E
So
a
little
lesson
that
I
learned
a
long
time
ago,
because
the
city
had
them
a
different
way
and
by
the
way,
as
you
sit
here
and
have
william
pitt
stare
over
you,
you
may
wonder
who
that
is.
That
is
not
the
man
who
pittsburgh
is
named
after
we
came
in
and
there
was
a
tear
in
that
then
that
painting-
and
so
I
sent
it
to
the
carnegie
museum
of
art-
and
I
asked
them
hey.
E
Can
you
repair
it
for
me
and
they
said:
hey
here's
two
things
number
one
that
painting's
not
worth
that
much
the
frame's
worth
more
use,
duct
tape
and
number
two.
That's
the
wrong!
William
pitt,
and
so
for
about
the
past
80
years,
the
wrong
william
pitt
has
been
in
the
mayor's
office.
That's
his
son,
he's
known
as
william
the
lesser
and
so
we're
we're.
Actually
I
I
found
a
portrait
painter
in
pittsburgh:
who's,
hopefully
going
to
give
a
nice
price,
I'm
going
to
use
some
campaign
dollars.
That
would
be
my.
E
My
donation
to
the
city
will
be
that
we'll
have
the
right,
william
pitt
staring
down
and
all
the
old
dead
white
guys
and
sophie
that's
what
this
room
is
affectionately
known
to,
as
in
our
administration,
we'll
be
moving
out
of
this
office
and
going
down
the
halls
of
the
mayor's
office
so
that
we
can
use
these
walls
to
open
it
up
to
pittsburgh
artists
to
have
pittsburgh
paintings
and
to
allow
them
the
opportunity
to
sell
their
work
in
a
beautiful
space
that
was
made
for
the
people.
E
So
let's
go
with
a
little
bit
of
history
about
this
city.
Okay,
so
everyone
thinks
it's
250
years
old,
but
it
isn't
there's
about
250
plus
years
that
they
decided
to
call
a
fort
in
the
area
around
it.
After
the
prime
minister
of
england,
william
pitt,
who
had
spent
a
lot
of
money
to
be
able
to
tell
the
french
they
had
to
leave
and
started
a
war
all
around
the
world,
it
was
the
first
world
war
started
right
here,
and
it
was
at
that
point
the
general
forbes
said
hey.
E
E
But
at
that
time
they
thought
it
was
a
good
idea,
let's
name
it
pit
after
william
pitt,
so
we
were
pittsboro,
we
were
like
bridgeville
or
wherever
the
borough
or
a
township,
and
we
ended
up
with
the
scottish
spelling
of
borough
b-o-r-o-u-g-h,
which
is
how
we
got
our
h.
In
1816
we
went
to
harrisburg
and
we
said
hey.
There
are
now
more
people
than
deer.
Here
we
should
be
a
city
now
knock
against
mount
lebanon.
E
Not
even
talk
about
that,
but
harrisburg
said
you
know
what
you're
right
and
what
they
did
is
they
gave
us
that
ability
back
in
march
of
1816
to
become
the
city
of
pittsburgh
and
so
our
heritage
as
a
city,
not
as
a
as
a
borough
we
used
to
have.
Instead
of
a
mayor,
we
had
a
burgess.
Now
we
have
a
reverend
burgess,
but
the
bird
just
ran
the
borough
and
we
then
in
1816
had
our
first
mayor.
His
name
was
ebenezer
denny
and
ebenezer
was
a
revolutionary
war.
E
Hero
fought
at
the
battle
of
yorktown
and
when
the
british
surrendered-
and
he
is
in
the
movie,
the
patriot,
with
mel
gibson,
when,
if
you
saw
the
movie,
when
mel
pulls
out
that
flag,
that
his
son
had
carried
and
starts
charging
him,
you
know
and
cornwallis
surrenders,
and
you
see
the
british
waving
the
white
flag
and
this
isn't
a
spoiler
alert.
They
lost.
So
hopefully
you
learned
that,
like
in
fifth
grade
history,
but
he
he
does
this
soliloquy
it's
it's.
E
E
We
were
building
glass,
we
were
doing
all
these
different
things
and
producing
these
materials
and
a
few
years
before
that,
a
couple
of
guys
got
into
a
boat
down
on
bruno's
island
right
across
from
heinz
field,
and
their
names
were
lewis
and
clark
and
they
set
out-
and
they
saw
this
whole
big
world
and
they
started
saying
you
know.
Maybe
it
doesn't
end
where
the
ohio
river
begins
or
where
the
mississippi.
E
Maybe
we
should
go
all
the
way
out
to
the
pacific,
and
then
they
looked
back
and
they
tried
to
find
a
place
to
build
it,
and
that
was
pittsburgh.
So
we
started
out
with
glass
and
then
it
was
iron
and
then
along
came
a
process
called
the
bessemer
process
and
andrew
carnegie
took
that
and
ran
with
it,
and
then
it
became
steel
and
from
steel
to
aluminum
and
basically
we
we
built
this
country.
We
built
every
bridge,
every
skyscraper,
it
all
came
out
of
here,
every
automobile.
E
You
know
all
the
pipelines
of
the
industry
that
became
part
of
a
global
empire
of
the
united
states
was
basically
coming
out
of
pittsburgh.
During
world
war
ii.
We
produced
more
steel
than
germany
and
japan
combined
out
of
this
region,
and
then
we
know
it
happened.
In
1979,
the
pirates
won
the
world
series
all
right,
willie
starjo,
your
family,
pretty
great
time.
The
steelers
won
their
fourth
super
bowl
and
pittsburgh
died.
E
Chancellor
poswar,
who
said
you
know
this
whole
life
science
is
going
to
take
off
that
little
facility.
We
have
at
western
psych
our
medical
center
that
we
call
our
university
medical
center
should
should
expand
into
its
own
and
develop
upmc
and
what
ended
up
happening
over
30
years.
The
mills
came
back,
but
they
moved
from
down
in
the
rivers,
up
the
hills
and
they're
called
carnegie
mellon
university
of
pittsburgh,
upmc
into
the
same
battles
that
people
fought
back
in
those
days.
People
like
my
grandfather,
who
had
a
second
grade
education
about
how
can
I
work?
E
That
was
what
he
wanted
to
do.
He
wanted
to
work.
That
was
it.
He
spoke
up
at
a
meeting
when
the
cio
was
organizing
the
steel
workers
at
columbia,
steel
and
he
asked,
if
I
signed,
can
I
work
because
if
they
didn't
have
a
work
order,
they
were
told
not
to
come
to
work,
it's
kind
of
hard
to
buy
food
for
your
family.
If
you
don't
know,
if
you're
going
to
work
that
week
or
not,
all
you
want
to
do
is
work.
E
We
have
this
economy
that's
taking
off
and
I
can
get
this
air
conditioning
thing
that
I
might
turn
on
in
a
second
if
it
gets
much
hotter
in
here
and
leave
it
in
my
office
on
my
chair
and
for
the
next
three
and
a
half
years,
this
city
is
going
to
do
great
shadyside's
going
to
expand.
The
hospitals
are
going
to
expand
you're
going
to
see
companies
from
around
the
world
starting
to
set
up
operations
here.
E
For
innovation,
centers
you're
going
to
see
all
this
new
economy,
that's
going
to
take
off
you're,
going
to
see
neighborhoods
start
to
come
back,
except
for
30
percent
of
the
city,
which
isn't
because
they
don't
have
a
ladder
of
opportunity
to
be
a
part
of
the
new
economy,
because
they
don't
have
the
same
parts
that
will
be
seeing
investment
that
will
also
help
the
public
infrastructure.
Improve
you'll,
see
a
city
that
will
be
one
of
great
success
and
one
of
great
failure.
E
E
That
will
be
there
for
a
longer
time
and
where
the
money
and
the
wealth
will
stay
here
and
not
be
shipped
out,
we've
done
a
lot
of
investing
over
the
past
20
years.
Some
of
it's
been
good
and
it's
seen
the
economic
development
come,
but
some
of
it
hasn't-
and
we
have
been
so
hungry
for
anything
that
we
look
at
all
development
in
a
way
that
it's
always
positive.
But
it's
not
you
know
it's
like
cholesterol,
there's,
good
cholesterol
and
bad
cholesterol.
E
It's
not
doing
that
much
when
we
do
it.
What
we're
looking
to
do
is
in
four
key
areas:
number
one
education
opportunities
all
the
way
and
our
goal
is
prenatal
to
pre-k
once
they
get
into
the
school
they're,
the
superintendents
and
the
school
boards.
Up
until
that
point,
we
want
to
give
them
a
chance
to
succeed
before
they
they
hit
that
first
grade,
then
after
school
programmings,
then
summer
opportunities
for
employment
and
then
learning
every
minute
that
they're
not
in
the
schools,
they're
ours.
E
We
want
to
create
models
that
go
beyond
what
the
60s
and
70s
produce,
basically
warehouses
of
poverty.
These
big
developments
that
were
built
in
neighborhoods
from
out
of
town
developers,
knowing
that
vouchers
would
come
back
from
the
federal
government
that
would
assure
a
rate
of
investment
that
would
make
them
profitable,
but
would
do
nothing
to
create
a
sense
of
community.
What
do
we
have
vast
amounts
of
housing
all
over
this
city?
We
have
abandoned
lots.
We
have
vacant
property.
We
have
blighted
property
that
we
own.
E
What
do
we
have
five
thousand
people
on
a
waiting
list
right
now
for
affordable
housing?
How
do
we
connect
those
two
together
working
with
non-profits
faith-based
institutions
to
start
to
hire?
People
in
neighborhoods
fix
those
places
up,
teach
people,
building
skills,
how
to
do
roofing,
how
to
do
electrical
work,
how
to
do
plumbing
while
at
the
same
time
creating
an
opportunity.
E
Instead
of
that
voucher,
going
to
somebody
who's
from
out
of
state
to
go
in
their
pockets
to
go
into
equity
into
the
house
so
that
in
15
years
they
own
it
so
that
when
that
neighborhood
becomes
gentrified,
because
that's
investment,
not
disinvestment,
that
they
have
a
stake
in
it
and
if
they
want
to
leave,
they
leave
with
a
big
paycheck
and
they
want
to
stay
it's
their
home.
They
stay.
That's
how
you
you
hit
it.
E
We
want
to
make
sure
that
people
aren't
pushed
out
as
a
process
of
that,
but
have
the
opportunity
to
stay
and
get
the
rewards
of
having
live,
20
30
40
years
with
seeing
nothing
but
loss
third
area
partners.
We
need
partners
and
our
partners
are
not
going
to
be
in
more
departments
in
city
government.
E
People
have
a
dream
of
starting
their
own
businesses.
We
want
to
be
able
to
see
it
happen.
We
want
to
build
back
neighborhood
business
districts
with
people
who
have
that
dream
of
starting
their
own
business,
give
them
the
safety
net
of
starting
it
over
the
course
of
a
couple
years
when
most
businesses
fail
and
to
see
them
become
part
of
that
development.
E
Imagine
the
difference
between
spending
30
million
dollars
of
grant
money
and
loan
money
to
big
mega
developments
that
have
national
retail
and
huge
parking
lots
as
compared
to
spending
thirty
million
dollars
breaking
it
up
into
ten
neighborhoods
three
million
dollar
grants
and
micro
loans
of
starting
small
businesses
and
facade
improvements
and
seeing
it
spread
out
into
the
areas
that
really
need
it.
We
want
to
change
that
model.
We
want
to
use
those
limited
government
dollars
in
order
to
see
the
changes
so
that
everyone
has
an
opportunity
to
see
the
success.
E
That's
going
to
happen
in
pittsburgh,
that's
the
heavy
part
of
the
job.
The
easy
part
is
the
ground
breakings
and
the
new
housing
going
up
and
the
new
companies
coming
in
and
all
the
other
parts
that
are
happening,
and
we
have
to
really
understand
too
that
it
could
take
off
in
a
very,
very
big
way
that
we
could
actually
start
to
see
this
city
being
recognized
as
one
of
the
top
cities
in
the
world
for
innovation,
technology,
medicine
and
the
ability
to
do
it
on
a
level
that
could
bring
companies
worldwide.
E
E
And
so
that's
the
challenge?
We
we
have
the
bureau
of
of
neighborhood
empowerment
and
we
have
the
department
of
innovation
and
performance
and
when
we
sit
together
as
a
staff
in
our
staff
meetings-
and
we
do
it
in
this
room.
I
put
the
challenge
out
to
both
that
the
moment
that
we
start
working
in
their
agendas
are
the
same.
We've
done
it.
E
We've
hit
it
when
the
when
the
the
work
that
deborah
lam
is
doing
in
innovation
and
performance
and
valerie
mcdonald
roberts
is
doing
in
neighborhood
empowerment
start
to
work
off
of
one
page:
we've
done
it
we're
not
there.
We
got
a
lot
of
work
to
do
to
get
there,
but
there's
enough
potential
right
now
and
enough
talent
in
this
city
that
if
any
city
is
going
to
do
it,
it's
going
to
be
us.
E
I
mean
this
city
is
small.
It's
able
we're
able
to
be
nimble
and
get
things
done
rather
quickly
and
there's
a
lot
of
interest
and
love
in
order
to
try
and
get
these
types
of
things
done
from
the
biggest
corporations
to
the
smallest
nonprofits
and
it's
starting
to
happen
now,
I'm
apologizing
because
I'm
going
to
run
out
to
another
event
up
at
carlow
university.
But
before
I
go,
I
wanted
to
say
this
too.
E
What
you're
doing
is
immeasurably
important,
there's
a
lot
of
people
who
will
complain,
there's
a
lot
of
people
on
twitter
who
will
complain,
and
I
read
it:
I've
never
blocked
anybody.
Despite
what
one
person
said,
and
I
won't
I
mean
I
want
to
hear
what
the
criticism
is.
Even
though
I
get
very
thin-skinned
sometime
and
I
will
google
search
certain
people.
E
E
You
know-
and
I
realize
that
and
that
sort
of
drags
everyone
down.
We
we
all
deal
with
it
and
it's
sort
of
the
thing
that
pulls
us,
but
at
the
same
time
there
are
those
that
are
willing
to
say
why
won't
anyone
fix
those
roads?
What
can
I
do
to
make
it
better?
That's
what
you're
doing
you're
going
to
give
your
time
you're
going
to
get
full
access?
E
I
mean
you'll,
get
to
see
all
the
different
parts
of
what
the
city
government
does
and
what
I
want
to
hear
back
from
you
at
the
end
of
this
is
what
we
can
do
to
do
it
better.
I
want
ideas.
I
want
positive,
reinforcing
ideas,
not
saying
you
guys
are
doing
great,
but
you
can
say
you
guys
are
doing
great,
but
you
need
to
really
look
at
this.
You
know
when
I
talked
to
the
chief
of
police
about
this.
I
was
surprised
when
he
said
or
when
the
director
of
public
works
told
me.
E
I
want
to
hear
some
positive
things
come
back
that
are
challenging
us
to
do
better
and
what
I
can
assure
you
is
once
you
get
an
informed
look
into
city,
your
opinions
and
those
questions
will
be
going
directly
to
the
top
so
and
me
too,
the
top's
really
my
directors.
I've
learned
that
in
the
first
year.
E
E
Okay,
when
you
look
up,
I
want
you
to
look
at
the
names
in
the
top
of
the
ceiling.
Are
the
names
of
every
mayor
for
the
first
100
years,
and
it
starts
all
the
way
in
the
very
very
front,
with
ebenezer,
denny
and
you'll
