A
A
Thank
you
very
much.
The
next
order
of
business
is
public
comment.
I
would
like
to
remind
everyone.
The
rules
of
council
state.
The
comments
are
limited
to
matters
of
concern
of
visual
actions
or
deliberation
which
are
or
may
before,
city
council.
That
means
that
your
comments
should
be
directly
related
to
things
that
are
in
our
jurisdiction
in
our
purview.
Profanity
will
not
be
permitted,
so
the
next
register,
the
first
registered
speaker
that
I
have
on
my
agenda,
is
Blaine
baby
Blaine.
Are
you
with
us.
A
E
My
name
is
Andrea
Williams
I'm,
a
resident
of
Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania
and
I
have
some
concerns
in
regards
to
systematic
oppression
and
abuse.
I
moved
here
in
2019
in
pursuit
of
a
more
civilized
culture,
a
place
where
all
humans
would
be
protected
and
accepted
equally
from
inhumane
treatment
and
systematic
oppression.
E
My
ex
has
shown
numerous
signs
of
an
abuser
maliciously
attacking
me
verbally
physically
and
systematically
oppressing
Me
by
starting
a
very
painful
domino
effect.
After
maliciously
attacking
me
with
a
knife,
I
ran
for
safety.
That
night,
he
maliciously
called
the
police
targeting
me
and
seeking
the
entire
system
to
perpetuate
his
evil.
Oppressive
abuse,
only
tomato
recant,
his
need
for
litigation,
please
refer
to
Google's,
LGBT
power
and
control,
will
to
better
understand
his
actions.
E
He's
played
off
of
cultural
perceptions
and
views
of
marginalized
people
and
now
I'm
surviving,
but
I'm
still
very
concerned
after
being
targeted
by
him
and
then
further
targeted
by
officials
that
were
sent
to
protect
me.
Who's
used
the
power
to
persuade
medical
officials
that
I
did
not
need
medical
attention.
That
I
was
faking
for
my
own
game.
My
car
was
was
maliciously
told
from
my
home
address
where
the
car
is
registered,
completely
affecting
my
ability
to
get
to
work
and
affecting
my
ability
to
gain
future
employment.
E
False
accusations
set
by
an
angry
ex
abusing
known
privilege
and
negligent
government
officials
abusing
known
privilege,
then
causing
me
to
stay
incarcerated
longer.
By
denying
me
medical
attention
causing
more
avoidable
trauma
that
I'm,
a
Survivor
of
I,
don't
feel
safe,
I,
don't
feel
protected.
I
feel
like
a
survivor's.
A
F
F
Two.
The
concern
of
council
and
mayor
opposing
carbon
atmospheric
release,
believing
it
to
be
a
primary
anthropogenic
cause
of
present-day
worldwide
warming,
is
contradicted
by
the
case
in
ordinance,
2022-0734
approving
increased
CO2
in
the
City
by
proposing
not
to
use
Concrete
in
Silver
Oak
Drive
on
Silver
Oak
Drive,
but
asphalt
a
greater
than
75
carbon
product
that
releases
more
CO2
and
CH4
methane
into
the
atmosphere.
That's
based
on
many
studies,
but
one
of
them
is
from
Carnegie
Mellon
University.
F
Therefore,
it's
punching
out
an
action
based
on
both
Pro
con
information
and
what
I
consider
to
be
using
low
bar
intelligence
and
three.
The
commitment
of
officers
of
Mayor
and
consulate
diversity
is
contradicted
by
the
near
empty
Cave
of
racial
ethnic
diversity
among
Consul,
mayor
Personnel.
Where
are
the
Asians?
They
are
the
our
highest
educated,
best
informed
and
most
intelligent
of
us
I
see
a
lot
more
ebony
faces,
I
see
Ivory
faces,
but
those
faces.
No,
this
is
anti-diversity.
While
you
say
you
are
pro-diversity
and
it
pinching
up
with
a
lie
is
racist.
G
My
name
is
Juwanna
Brown
and
I
live
in
the
Hill
district
I
this
whole
week
we
were
watching
the
queens
and
you
know
she
died,
but
I
want
to
tell
you
something
about
how
people
dark,
complected
people
from
different
countries
felt
about
that
Queen.
My
sister
is
married
to
Martin
smart
from
Zimbabwe.
He
it
was
Rhodesia
at
one
time
he
has
a
picture
of
when
Bobby
Kennedy
went
to
Rhodesia
and
he
has
a
picture.
It
was
a
big
big
airplane,
a
big
like
Warehouse.
G
They
had
Bobby
Kennedy
young
Bobby
Kennedy
standing
with
the
people
from
Zimbabwe
standing
and
talking
to
him.
I
was
going
with
a
fella
from
Ghana
who
said
that
he
talks
about
the
queen.
I
want
to
say
this
and
I
know
that
a
lot
of
people
are
going
to
hate
me
for
this,
but
I'm.
Looking
at
all,
that's
what
I've
seen
that
crown
with
all
them
diamonds.
Do
you
know
where
they
came
from?
G
They
came
from
Jamaica
Africa
and
the
different
places,
and
every
one
of
them
diamonds,
a
black
person,
probably
died
in
the
in
the
ground.
You
know
they
were
not
allowed
to
go
home
to
your
family
success
at
Christmas.
Now,
when
you
say
somebody
in
Jamaica
when
I,
when
they
mentioned
the
queen,
they
said,
kill
the
queen
because
they
said
all
of
their
people
that
have
died.
G
You
talk
about
people
here
on
welfare
welfare
getting
339
a
month
or
something
like
that
that
Queen
got
all
them
diamonds
and
all
they
have
to
do,
is
sit
on
their
butt
and
go
to
meetings.
Do
you
see
the
diamonds
and
the
gold
they
stole
from
the
black
people
from
Africa
and
Ghana,
when
the
man
when
Ross
was
talking
to
me
here,
he
was
crying.
G
He
said
when
the
white
man
came
with
Trinkets
and
Ronald
got
the
King
drunk
and
said
you,
because
when
they
hit,
they
had
slaves
too,
because
he
said
you
should
not
have
to
take
care
of
them.
Slaves
we'll
take
them,
so
they
had
built
castles
that
they
took
them
to
down
up
under
the
ground.
So
the
Africans
following
thought
that
they
fell
off
the
end
of
the
Earth,
but
he
cried.
He
said
if
they
had
been
a
Headhunters
because
they
killed
even
a
black
man.
G
If
you
don't
belong
in
that
country,
they
could
kill
you
if
he
said
he
wished
that
the
white
people
like
that
killed
every
one
of
them.
Do
you
understand
your
instances,
all
love
this
White
Queen,
and
what
does
he
do
all
them
when
I
seen
them
diamonds,
you
see
all
them
diamonds,
they
didn't
come
from
there.
They
came
from
Africa
and
Jamaica
and
places
and
audience
loved
that
Queen,
but
she
was
the
mean
son
of
a
something.
Yes,
she
was
two
years
later.
H
Hello,
my
name
is
Flora
Williams
and
I
am
an
evangelist
in
the
building
where
I
live
at
Kaylee.
Roy
irvis
Towers
I
have
been
here
quite
a
few
times
talking
about
security,
but
I
can't
stand
in
place.
I
have
to
keep
going
forward,
so
I'm
preparing
a
petition
to
send
to
all
official
elected
officials
to
see
what
place
that
we
can
sit.
This
problem
in,
we
are
addressing
a
very
serious
problem
here.
Maybe
they
don't
understand
that
we
should
not
have
to
live
this
way.
We
have
paid
our
dues.
H
We
have
paid
into
our
substance
purity.
There
has
to
be
some
way
that
they
can
take
money
and
put
it
into
having
security
to
protect
us.
How
come
there
are
some
buildings
that
have
security
and
others
don't
only
because
of
money.
They
don't
want
to
pay
for
security
and
I.
Try
to
tell
the
residents
if
you
put
your
money
into
where
you
put
your
money
where
you
they
can
hold
it
and
tell
the
problem
is
resolved
expert.
H
H
And
now
we
don't
have
it
at
all.
Anyone
can
enter
the
building
without
signing
in.
There
should
be
someone
at
that
front
desk
the
make
sure
I
know
another
senior
citizen
building.
They
hold
your
ID
until
you
come
back
out
to
guarantee
that
you
that
you're
leaving
the
building
okay,
we
have
to
have
security.
The.
F
H
Will
not
even
know
how
many
people
are
in
the
building,
they
wouldn't
even
know
if
we
have
to
go
back
to
Rescue
another
person,
because
there
is
no
count
of
who's
in
the
building.
There
has
to
be
an
answer
for
us.
We
cannot
sit
any
longer,
I'm
ready
to
go
to
Washington,
but
I'm
going
to
get
this
to
subpoena
signed
up
right
now,
so
people
can
at
least
see
that
we're
doing
something
and
we're
going
to
work
for
something
help
us
seniors.
We
should
not
have
to
live
like
this.
This
is
the
some
people.
H
I
I'm
Bernadette
from
beach
view
and
I
first
have
to
thank
Anthony
coghill
he's
on
it.
I
don't
want
to
be
on
the
other
end
of
the
phone
today
when
he
finishes
up
on
his
demands
to
get
rid
of
these
signage
litter,
on
our
sidewalks
and
in
our
roadways
and
on
our
Corners,
where
they're
piled
up.
Thank
you.
Anthony
you're,
amazing,
by
the
way,
I've
seen
a
brand
new
one
that
was
a
sign
post
that
was
put
at
fellow
field
in
Broadway.
I
They
used
it
to
put
the
temporary
shuttle
sign
for
the
bus
when
the
trolley
was
not
running.
It's
a
flange,
very
simple
guarantee
you,
it's
probably
maybe
seven
dollars,
and
then
you
put
your
little
big
boy,
Erector
Set
into
it,
screw
it
and
then
at
top
they
had
those
little
flag,
extensions
where
they
had
put
the
sign
those
things
since
they're,
going
around
bolting,
useless
bike,
racks,
bolt
them
or
attach
them
to
the
bike
racks
so
that
we
have
minimal
chance
of
the
sidewalks
being
covered.
I
I
talked
last
week
and
I'm.
Sorry,
I
didn't
get
back
to
the
congresswoman
about
the
Horticulture,
but
we
could
really
help
and
benefit
future
Generations.
Yes,
a
nice
manicured
cancer,
toxic
lawn
is
nice
to
look
at.
However,
we
have
brought
back
chickens
and
bees
and
bees
are
in
Decline
from
Monsanto
and
bear
and
from
their
weed
killers
and
everything
else.
Well,
if
you
have
bees,
you
need
the
flowering
weeds
which
are
edible.
I
Broad,
Leaf,
plantain,
Creeping
Charlie,
also
known
as
Pennsylvania
ground,
ground
ivy
take
one
end
of
it
slip
it
through
a
spaghetti
strainer.
You
can
feed
an
amazing
pot
of
grains
to
your
kids,
Pennsylvania
smart
read,
not
because
it's
smart
has
little
pink
clusters
on
the
end,
like
little
like
little
pink
balls
that
you
would
put
on
your
cupcakes
smart,
because
it's
spicy,
like
a
pepper,
you
can
add
that
to
your
salads
or
whatever
our
Pittsburgh
wooded
areas
and
side
yards
that
are
not
cut,
are
filled
with
these
things
that
the
Europeans
brought
here.
I
Grass
was
not
a
norm,
so
I
say:
if
we're
going
to
have
chickens
and
bees,
let
land
owners
as
long
as
they
have
like.
Maybe
they
can
have
a
laminated
little
sign
saying
we
eat
this,
that
and
this
it's
growing
in
our
yard.
We
don't
know
when
the
next
pandemic
comes.
We
don't
know
when
the
shelves
are
going
to
be
empty.
Why
not
teach
our
children
now
the
way
our
grandfathers
were
raised
and
Beyond
teach
them
how
to
forage
in
their
yards.

Mr.
D
A
D
Mr
chair
I
just
wanted
to
share
that.
Yesterday,
I
got
my
Omicron
a
third
booster
shot.
They
are
available,
they
are
I,
went
to
Rite
Aid
to
get
mine.
They
do
have
them.
They
ask
that
you
make
appointments
to
do
so.
Anyone
over
12
years
old
or
over
65
in
immunocompromised
me
are
eligible
and
the
reason
I
bring
this
up
is
I
completely
forgot.
I
got
the
booster
until
I
was
in
the
shower
this
morning
and
took
the
Band-Aid
off
I
had
absolutely
and
I'm
not
suggesting
this
for
everyone.
D
I
had
absolutely
zero
side
effect
from
the
booster,
no
headache
no
pain
at
the
site
of
injection,
no
fever,
no
chills,
no
anything
I,
just
sort
of
sailed
right
through
it
and
didn't
realize
till
like
I
said
I
realized
I
saw
the
Band-Aid
on
in
the
shower
this
morning,
so
for
those
that
are
considering
during
their
third
booster,
they
are
available.
I
just
wanted
to
share
my
experience.
I
don't
mean
to
suggest
that
everyone
will
not
have
you
know
side
effects
from
from
getting
the
from
getting
it.
D
A
I
I
want
to
share
in
a
minute
we'll
be
talking
about
kindness,
so
I
it
will
be
off
the
air,
but
I
do
want
to
say
something.
While
we
are
broadcasting
a
lot
of
what
I've
learned
in
life,
I've
learned
as
a
father
and
when
my
son
was
I
think
eight
years
old,
my
wife
decided
to
move
him
from
one
school
to
another.
A
A
A
They
gave
Awards
to
kids
for
picking
up
pencils
for
other
kids
of
helping
people
on
the
playground
and
in
part,
this
school
has
a
culture
of
being
kind
to
each
of
every
student
for
the
other
students
being
kind
and
that
arrested
my
attention
and
I.
My
wife
decided
and
I
agreed,
and
we
sent
not
only
my
first
kid
but
three
of
our
four
children
graduated
from
that
grade
school
and
that
those
lessons
I
think
has
stayed
with
them.
A
They
are,
for
the
most
part,
kind
kind,
people,
I,
I,
I,
believe
in
my
spirit,
more
than
anything
else
in
the
world
that
we
ought
to
be
blessings
and
servants
to
other
people.
I
am
a
imperfect
servant
in
many
ways.
I
know
that,
but
I
do
believe,
I
believe
and
teach
and
preach
that
it
is
the
goal
of
our
life
to
serve
others
and
to
bless
others
through
kindness,
and
it
is
never
wrong
to
be
kind.
Even
when
people
are
unkind
to
you
and
I
got
to
work
on
this
a
little
bit
more
myself.
A
I
want
to
just
suggest
to
you,
although
you
know,
I
am
imperfect,
I'll
say
that
again,
right
I'm,
not
always
that
way
myself,
but
let
us
strive
to
be
kind
to
each
other
and
to
be
kind
to
family
and
constituents
and
staff.
Let
us
in
our
little
world
do
all
we
can
to
be
kind
to
each
other
and
to
the
world,
and
in
our
little
place,
perhaps
we
can
make
it
just
a
little
brighter
and
just
a
little
bit
better.
