Description
It's the Season Two Premiere! We have a new open, new graphics, new end credits, a new recording location, and we're interviewing more than one person per episode!
On the Season Two Premiere, John McIntire interviews Majestic Lane from Mayor William Peduto's office, Alaina Emery from the Department of Human Resources and Civil Service, and Maura Kennedy from the Department of Permits, Licenses, and Inspections.
A
A
B
It
always
you
get
you
get
older
and
it
starts
to
be
a
little
cooler.
I
mean
when
you're
young
different
names
sure
they
impact
you
differently.
Kids
are
kind
of
looking
for
traditional
names,
but
as
you
get
older
people
start
to
say,
oh
that's
a
really
unique
name.
That's
a
really
creative
names.
I
think.
B
B
B
One
it
was
different
when
I
was
a
young
person,
but
to
you
you
know
it's
similar
to
Philadelphia,
it's
the
city
of
neighborhoods,
it's
a
city
that
kind
of
brings
you
in
and
holds
you
close,
and
it
also
was
a
city
of
opportunity
and
I.
Think,
as
the
city
has
continued
to
evolve,
I've
continued
to
see
it
as
a
city
where
you
can
really
get
things
done
and
make
some
things
happen.
If
it's
important
to
you
so.
B
Actually
became
interested
in
public
service
as
a
younger
person.
My
family
was
involved
in
public
service
in
various
ways
when
I
was
younger
and
as
a
high
schooler
I
actually
participated
in
a
internship
working
in
a
congressman's
office
in
Philadelphia
Congressman
Lucien
Blackwell.
So
that
kind
of
gave
me
the
bug
and
then,
when
I
got
here,
I
got
more
involved
in
community
work
among.
A
B
Yeah
yeah
yeah,
that
was
part
of
a
countywide
truancy
prevention
program.
We
were
one
or
two
kuransky
prevention
programs
at
that
time,
and
that
was
just
really
acknowledging
that
you
know
truancy
was.
It
is
a
symptom
of
other
things.
If
young
people
are
not
going
to
school,
there's
usually
something
else
happening.
B
We
had
a
really
good.
We
had
a
really
good
success
rate
of
getting
young
people
back
involved
in
school
and
what
what
I
realized
from
that
point
on
is
that
you
know
systems
conspire
to
either
help
or
sometimes
put
blockades
on
on
folks,
and
that's
where
you
know
that
were
Purdue.
That
worked
was
a
really
central
to
the
work
I
do
today.
So.
B
From
Network
I
was
doing
a
lot
of
community
work
and
I
did
that
work
and
then
in
2010
I
went
to
work
with
then
State
Senator,
Jim,
furlough
and
I
worked
with
us
in
a
furlough
for
four
and
a
half
years
around
education,
community
development,
economic
development
and
also
sustainability.
So
you've
really
done
a
lot.
A
B
B
So
that
work
was
really
around
looking
at
all
of
what's
going
on.
As
we
know,
the
mayor
Peduto
is
really
about
neighborhood
level,
development
and
neighborhood
level
engagement
and
making
sure
that
communities
are
involved
because,
as
I
said,
if
it's
not
for
all
of
us,
it's
not
for
any
of
us
and
that
you
know
broadly
to
kind
of
talks
about
equity.
But
it
also
talks
about
one
of
our
in
any
of
our
90
neighborhoods.
B
So
I
was
tasked
with
just
engaging
community-based
organizations
and
Community
Development
Corporation's,
and
just
talking
to
them
and
working
with
our
different
departments
and
authorities
on
figuring
out
how
we
can
continue
to
work
together
to
advance.
You
know
long
range
strategies,
as
well
as
short
term
strategies.
A
B
B
Yeah,
well
you
you
thread
the
needle
by
you
know,
being
people
focused
first
brick-and-mortar
can
follow
the
development
of
people
because
of
people
are
developed
and
we're
advancing
human
capital
to
advance
the
built
environment.
They
they
can
happen
together.
But
if
we
don't
advance
the
human
capital
eventually
as
the
built
environment,
changes
folks
will
not
feel
as
comfortable
or
they
will
not
be
able
to
afford
the
areas.
B
And
while
we
utilize
a
variety
of
means
to
keep
people
in
place,
including
a
ten
million
dollar
Housing
Opportunity
Fund
that
the
mayor,
supported
and
council
supported
that's
now
at
the
URA,
the
Urban
Redevelopment
Authority.
We
also
know
we
have
to
develop
people
so
that
they
can
grow
along
without
a
neighborhood
changes.
Do.
B
Because
I
think
for
so
long
people
have
heard
you
know
stories
and
they've
they've
heard
things
from
government
platitudes
about
how
they
want
to
work
with
people,
but
it's
been
empty,
so
obviously
you're
fighting
in
some
ways,
decades
and
generations
of
people
not
having
trust
in
how
government
will
really
act
to
support
them
versus
displace
them.
So.
B
Re-Establish
trust
in
government.
We
work
with
our
authorities
to
continue
to
do
that.
We
work
with
our
departments
because
it's
the
process
of
all
of
government.
We
know
that
the
ideas
of
engagement,
the
ideas
of
really
reestablishing
that
bond
couldn't
doesn't
just
come
from
the
mayor's
office,
because
it's
not
a
top-down
approach.
It's
everyone
in
every
department
and
every
authority,
that's
part
of
our
administration
should
be
thinking
about.
How
do
we
make
sure
that
everyone
feels
comfortable
in
today's
Pittsburgh?
So.
A
B
There
so
that's
just
kind
of
a
broader
escalation
of
that
work.
So
you
know
that
was
the
kind
of
neighborhood
level
work,
but
now
we're
really
talking
about
systemic
elements
of
work.
We're
talking
about
you
know.
How
do
we
make
sure
again
that
Pittsburgh
is
advancing
equity,
diversity
and
inclusion
for
every
resident
of
our
city?
How
do
we
make
sure
that
you
know
the
engagement
with
our
national
partners?
B
It's
helping
us
get
the
resources
and
the
information
and
technical
assistance
that
we
need
to
advance
things
and
then
also
just
as
far
as
part
of
being
a
part
of
leadership
with
the
mayor
and
chief
gilman,
just
making
sure
that
things
happen,
that
things
move
on
time
and
that
we're
being
supportive
of
residents
that
were
being
supportive
of
our
directives
in
our
department
heads
in
order
to
make
government
move
smoothly.
I
always.
A
B
There
are
limits,
I
mean
generally,
when
you
look
at
the
health,
safety
and
welfare
other
residents.
Would
that
mean
that's
out
of
our
Charter
right
and
then
the
broader
thing
is
sometimes
government
plays
different
roles.
We
can't
act
as
a
substitute
for
the
private
market,
but
we
can
help
spur
the
private
market.
We
can
help
support
the
private
market.
We
can't
act
as
a
substitute
for
community
or
a
family,
but
we
can
help
undergird
those
those
institutions.
So
it's
really
about.
Do
we
do
things
on
the
front
end.
B
So
what
we
find
is
we
try
to
strike
the
balance
of
not
trying
to
be
so
removed
that
people
don't
understand
that
they
have
a
government
that
is
responsive
to
them
and
wants
to
advance
the
goals
as
they
voted
for
you
know
the
mayor,
and
they
want
to
make
sure
that
that
happens,
but
also
we
don't
want
to
be
overly
intrusive
to
the
point
where
we're
not
working
in
collaboration
with
the
private
sector.
In
collaboration
with
community,
in
order
to
see
the
realtor
we're
all
interested
in
so.
B
Yeah
every
day
is
a
different
day
to
find
that
balance
and
every
day
is
a
new,
a
new
challenge
and
a
new
opportunity.
So
every
day
you
find
oh
wow,
okay,
I
didn't
think
about
doing
it.
Like
that,
the
other
day
you
see
some
new
new
elements
of
the
onion.
If
you
will
that
you
have
to
pull
back
in
to
identify
what
you
need
to
do
anything.
B
But
what
it
really
underscores
is
that
there's
just
the
range
of
things
that
all
residents
are
interested
in,
while
everyone
wants
to
feel
comfortable,
safe
and
secure
in
their
city
within
that
there's
a
wide
variety
of
things,
and
so
we
just
have
to
wear
various
hats
if
you
will
to
be
able
to
identify
how
to
bring
those
things.
Some
of
those
things
are
21st
century
solutions.
Some
of
those
things
are
as
old
as
government
right
and
you
have
to
blend
those
together.
B
You
have
to
blend
being
in
the
community
with
understanding
you
know
global
factors
in
national
factors,
so
you
have
to
kind
of
do
both
things
and
come
at
things
in
some
ways
from
you
know,
division
of
top-down
stuff,
but
they're
also
always
keeping
the
the
Bottoms
Up
approach
to
thinking
about
community.
First
and
foremost,
you.
B
A
B
Empty
or
snowing,
and
now
people
say
they
can't
get
you
know
I
can't
get
by,
and
that's
an
extra
Lane
or
just
the
snow
has
been
kicked
into
the
in
front
of
automobiles,
and
it's
just
a
thing
of
how
cities
evolve.
Cities
are
constantly
changing,
it
was
there
was
a
time,
even
though,
most
of
us
don't
think
about
it.
B
And
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
you
know
at
one
level,
bike
lanes
are
real
because
people
bike
to
work,
it's
a
it's
a
great
way
to
get
around
it's
a
great
way
to
take
advantage
of
our
streets.
Another
level.
We
know
we
have
situations
like
a
landslide
that
we
have
to
deal
with
that
are
very
traditional,
and
so
you
know
again
going
back
to
your
your
earlier
question.
It's
just
about
blending
blending
the
two
acknowledging
that
you
have
things
that
are
new
opportunities
and
you
have
consistent
challenges
in
dealing
with
both
sounds.
A
B
I
mean
I,
like
you
know:
I
love,
cities,
I
love
people
and
so
loving
cities
and
loving
people
and
loving
the
process
of
wanting
to
make
cities
better.
I
think
there's
a
really
a
central
role
and
part
of
this
role,
and
you
know
I'm,
really
supportive
and
appreciative
of
the
mayor
in
his
goals
to
make
Pittsburgh
a
city
for
all
and
a
city
where
everyone
can
can
can
flourish.
A
B
Pittsburgh
great
about
making
each
other
better.
That
think!
That's!
That
is
the
first
and
foremost
so,
whether
we're
talking
about
in
the
workforce,
whether
we're
talking
about
in
schools,
whether
we're
talking
about
in
in
our
faith-based
organizations,
whether
we're
talking
about
in
our
community
clubs
how
we
interact
with
each
other.
If
we
make
each
other
bread
if
we're
constantly
building
up
to
human
capital,
what
we
have
it
makes
government's
job
a
lot
easier
to
be
able
to
do
the
other
things
that
surround
those
things
to
kind
of
continue
to
get
Pittsburgh.
B
C
Patriotism
inspires
passionate
debate,
it's
worn
like
a
badge
of
honor,
with
good
reason,
because
it
means
love
and
devotion
for
one's
country.
But
what
really
makes
up
this
country
of
ours?
It's
the
people
to
love
America
is
to
love
all
Americans
this
year.
Patriotism
shouldn't
just
be
about
pride
of
country.
It
should
be
about
love,
love
beyond
age,
sexuality,
disability,
race,
religion
and
other
labels,
because
love
has
no
labels.
A
D
D
D
D
D
D
A
D
D
A
D
I
love
what
I
do
I
have
the
opportunity
to
work
inside
and
outside
of
the
office
at
any
time.
We
do
several
service
exams,
for
example,
so
we're
conducting
exams
for
position
position
such
as
clerical,
specialist,
clerical,
sustained
account
clerk,
which
are
just
going
to
be
an
computer
assessment
and
then
maybe
a
written
examination,
but
we
also
do
exams
for
positions
like
refuge
driver
so
you're
out.
D
Actually
you
have
these
applicants
come
in
and
have
their
CDL
and
they
have
to
operate
a
refuse
vehicle
with
one
of
the
refuse
drivers
that
are
currently
employed
by
the
city
and
one
of
us
from
HR.
So
we're
in
the
garbage
truck
driving
this
route
through
Schenley
Park,
making
sure
that
they
can
do
a
turnaround,
making
sure
that
they
can
do
a
parallel
park.
So.
D
D
A
D
D
And
then
for
my,
my
role,
particularly
I,
have
evolved
into
doing
a
lot
of
our
recruitment
and
advertising.
So
last
summer,
I
was
out
with
different
employees
throughout
the
city,
particularly
Public
Safety
was
are
focused
initially
and
then
we've
started
to
do
some
things
with
other
employees
that
are
in
different
departments.
The
mayor's
office
PLI,
whatever
it
may
be,
are.
D
A
D
D
D
For
me,
typically
I
like
working
for
the
city,
because
I
get
to
make
a
difference,
so
I've
taken
this
idea
of
our
new
director
emanuele
implemented
a
recruitment
plan
whenever
she
came
on
and
I
think
she
may
have
even
been
acting
director
at
the
time,
and
she
said
this
is
my
vision.
This
is
my
goals.
This
is
what
I
want
to
do,
and
so
I've
had
the
creative
freedom
to
really
run
with
it.
Look
at
what
works
look
at
what
doesn't
work.
Where
should
we
advertise
what
worked
last
year?
What
should
we
do
again?
D
D
And
so
I
think,
with
the
directors
mission
to
modernize
our
department
from
personnel
to
human
resources,
she
also
wants
to
innovate
a
lot
of
our
procedures
and
I
think
that's
a
citywide
initiative
with
the
department
of
innovation
and
performance
to
get
rid
of
these
paper
forms
and
these
carbon
copy
forms
and
move
to
online
processes
eliminate
unnecessary
steps,
while
still
achieving
the
same
outcome.
You're
still
in
line
with
policy
is.
D
With
Human
Resources,
we
see
the
new
position
titles
being
created
because
they
have
to
come
through
civil
service
to
be
classified
correctly.
For
example,
any
new
position
that's
created
has
to
be
classified
as
exempt,
non-competitive
or
competitive,
and
the
only
two
positions
that
are
competitive
or
police
and
fire,
because
they're
based
on
rank
based
on
your
score,
you
achieve
on
your
physical
test
and
your
written
test,
so
the
other
positions
would
be
classified
and
then
they're
creating
these
new
position.
D
D
Launched
the
new
online
procedures
for
applying
for
parks
and
shelters,
so
that
really
made
a
big
difference
for
people.
Instead
of
lining
up
January
1st
to
get
your
shelter
permit,
you
can
do
it
on
your
phone
or
from
your
PC,
and
it's
just
streamlining
things.
Making
it
go
faster
and
so
you've
seen
quite.
D
We
have
and
I
think
that
things
still
you
know,
have
to
go
through
the
proper
channels,
so
they
can
still
take
time.
It's
not
happening
overnight.
We
also
have
budgetary
constraints
due
to
our
budget
being
predetermined
for
the
year,
so
anything
that
we
think
of
or
find
out
through
the
year
we're
having
to
wait
to
get
that
pre-approved
for
the
following
year.
So
would.
D
Particularly
I
think
in
my
area,
I'm,
not
a
generalist,
I
work
in
employment,
so,
like
I,
said
we're
doing
all
the
different
things.
People
who
other
people
in
our
department
are
payroll,
they're,
strictly
doing
payroll
procedures,
citywide,
which
is
a
lot
all-encompassing,
because
everybody
has
different
rates.
They
have
different
unions
different
over
times
this
that
and
the
other.
D
Is
a
good
plan
and
it's
people
taking
advantage
of
that
I
think
so
I
the
easier
they
may.
The
Wellness
team
makes
it
for
employees
to
utilize.
The
services
you'll
see
those
employee
participation,
numbers
increase
and
then
your
overall
health
increases,
which
decreases
your
cost
of
medical,
absolutely.
E
A
D
A
E
A
F
A
F
E
F
A
F
Think
we're
definitely
starting
to
see
that
and
starting
to
have.
Everyone
realized
how
they
can
play
us,
a
role
in
their
community
and
their
local
government
in
their
national
government
and
move
forward
from
there.
So
I
went
to
school
for
government,
as
my
undergrad
mm-hmm
and
I
really
enjoyed
that
graduated
in
a
big
election
year
again
wanted
to
keep
being
civic
and
participate
in
the
democratic
process.
Did
campaigns
for
a
minute
joined
an
administration
for
the
mayor
of
Philly,
so
I
worked.
One
was
that
that
was
in
2008,
okay,
I
worked
on
that
campaign.
F
I
was
a
research
director
and
then
I
joined
the
administration
actually
in
the
press
office
and
as
a
citizen
of
Philadelphia
I
realized
that
the
problems
I
was
facing
the
most
both
in
my
direct
community
and
traveling
around
the
city
with
the
mayor,
all
really
went
through
the
department
of
permits,
licenses
and
inspections.
So
when
you
look
at
all
of
those
related
problems
of
blight-
and
you
know,
access
to
services
and
community
improvement
issues,
you
know
all
of
those
really
run
through
PLI.
So.
F
Yeah
so
I,
you
know
at
that
time.
I
just
need
to
go
back
to
it
would
take
these
really
long
runs
around
the
city
and
I'd,
bring
a
pen
and
I'd
write
down
problem
properties
and
then
I'd
call
through
one
when
I
got
back
to
my
house
and
just
through
that
and
from
learning
more
about
the
nature
of
city
government
through
working
for
the
press
office
again,
I
realized
a
lot
of
the
issues
I
cared
about
both
as
a
Pacific
Lee
active
person
and
as
a
resident
flowed
through
PLI,
real.
F
Early
on
in
your
career,
so
you
know
this
is
a
really
intimate
department,
everything
that
happens
from
the
plotline
in
whether
you
need
to
build
a
ramp,
because
family
members
now
handicapped
in
your
house
too,
there's
a
vacant
property
next
door
to
you
know:
I
want
to
start
a
small
business.
All
of
that
runs
through
PLI.
So
having
that
work
more
efficiently,
both
to
incent
private-sector
investment
and
to
deal
with
community
issues
is
a
huge
help.
Well,.
A
F
B
E
F
F
Was
surprising,
it
was
surprising,
you
know,
I
think
it
really
is
a
good
testament
to
the
caliber
of
the
employees
and
how
much
they
care
about
the
city
that
they're
still
able
to
make
good
improvements
and
change
and
help
people
despite
the
limitations
but
I,
think
those
types
of
structural
issues
are
really
important.
You
know
in
a
in
a
time
where
we
all
have
limited
budgets.
How
are
we
being
the
most
of
and
in
you
know,
allocating
the
resources
to
get
the
services
that
we
want
to
our
customers
so.
F
So
what
we
do
is
we
have
a
zero-based
budget.
So
we
look
to
say:
okay,
these
are
how
many
permits
were
just
paying
any
next
year.
These
are
how
many
licenses
these
are,
how
many
inspections
and
to
give
you
a
sense
of
scale.
We
do
60,000
inspections
a
year
Wow.
We
do.
You
know
30.
We
issue
13,000
permits
and
we
issue
about
six
or
seven
thousand
business
licenses.
How.
F
You
benchmark
us
to
peer
cities,
you
know
it's,
it's
not
quite
there.
Yet
in
terms
of
service
delivery
and
I.
Think
that
that's
you
know
I'm
very
lucky,
because
everything
we
do
is
very
tangible,
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
civil
services
and
social
services
that
are
provided,
where
it's
a
little
bit
more
difficult
to
measure
or
to
agree
with
what
success
looks
like.
But
everyone
knows
what
a
building
permit
completion
looks
like.
You
could
track
that.
F
There's
number
of
days
there's
a
lot
of
metrics
around
that,
so
we
can
actually
say:
okay,
here's
how
many
plan
reviews,
for
example,
we're
anticipating
being
asked
you
next
year,
here's
how
many
hours
it
does
it
takes
for
us
to
to
complete
that
task.
You
know,
and
then
we
can
back
it
out
from
there
to
say
here's
an
the
number
of
man-hours
will
anticipate
to
need
next
year
to
meet.
You
know
this
level
service
for
our
customers.
You
know
whether
it's
a
you
know
five-day
turnaround
time
or
ten
day
turnaround
time.
A
A
F
F
We
were
much
under
that
level
and
we
were
we're
seeing
much
more
unpermitted
work
happening,
but
now,
as
we
are
becoming
more
efficient
as
a
city,
we're
making
it
easier
to
apply
and
our
inspectors
are
much
more
active
out
there,
educating
our
customers
to
say
you
know,
here's,
here's,
what
the
process
is
and
also
here's
what
the
value
is
that
we're
providing
to
you.
You
know.
F
F
That
everybody
wins
in
the
long
run
absolutely
so
we
not
only
make
sure
that
the
structure
is
built
appropriately,
but
we
also
make
sure
that
it's
maintained
appropriately,
so
whether
it's
making
sure
that
fire
safety
systems
are
maintained,
the
fire
escapes
are
maintained,
the
masonry
structures
are
maintained.
You
know
all
of
that
runs
through
our
department.
That's.
A
F
And
that's
a
great
point,
so
our
staff
is
very
well
qualified.
We
hire
from
construction
disciplines,
property
maintenance
disciplines,
design
disciplines
such
as
architects
and
engineers,
and
then
we
also
have
to
go
through
a
different
hurdle
of
having
to
take
state
qualifying
exams.
So
before
you
do
any
of
those
inspection
or
plan
review
functions,
you
have
to
pass
a
test
from
the
state
saying
yes,
do
I
meet
the
minimum
qualifications
and
knowledge
level
to
do
this
is.
F
F
Like
any
industry,
there's
types
of
a
position
that
appealed
a
variety
people
within
it
I
think
that
this
is
a
very
steady
job
and
I.
Think
that
there's
a
lot
of
people
that
truly
love
Pittsburgh
and
want
to
be
part
of
that
change.
So
this
is
a
way
that
you
can
really
give
back
to
the
city
on
a
larger
scale
and
say
how
am
I
making
sure
that
all
of
the
people
that
live
here
that
work
here
are
safe
and
working
with
communities
to
grow
their
neighborhood.
In
a
way,
that's
you
know,
meet
circles.
Would.
F
D
F
F
You
know,
Philly
is
a
very
flat
city
and
it's
based
on
a
grid,
so
when
there
is
unfortunately
disinvestment
as
there
had
been
in
Philly
for
many
years,
it
just
kind
of
rolls
through
a
neighborhood,
and
you
see
commercial
corridors
being
completely
demolished,
whereas
Pittsburgh,
because
of
our
all
of
our
nature,
to
not
cross
a
bridge
or
cross
a
river.
You
know
people
are
really
very
much
more
used
to
going
to
the
karush
corridor
and
you
don't
see
that
blight
and
disinvestment
sort
of
roll
through
neighborhoods,
like
that.
F
A
F
A
F
E
A
A
F
F
F
That
that
might
not
be
the
best
fit
for
our
department
to
work
with
the
homeowner
like
that,
but
if
you're
a
renter,
absolutely
and
you're
having
an
issue
with
your
property,
perhaps
the
landlord
isn't
maintaining.
It
call
us
we're
happy
to
make
sure
that
you
have
access
to
a
safe
and
livable
home.
The.
A
E
A
A
F
That's
a
scenario
that
we
face,
so
you
know
these
are
these
are
difficult
jobs
both
in
terms
of
facing
the
elements
our
staff
is
in
the
field
all
day
every
day,
and
you
know
again
just
the
scale
of
issues
we
we
have.
You
know
tens
of
thousands
of
inspections
we
have
to
do
per
year
and
we
understand
everyone
wants
their
inspection
next.
F
F
So
I
never
be
qualified.
I
don't
mean
specifically,
do
you
wanna
go
for
it,
it's
a
great
job.
Absolutely
so
we
do
have
some
jobs
available.
I
encourage
anyone,
who's
interested
to
apply
on
government
jobs,
comm,
slash
Pittsburgh.
We
have
some
positions
available
for
architects,
engineers,
construction
professionals
and
just
you
know,
people
that
are
interested
in
working
for
their
community.
We
definitely
have
some
entry-level
jobs.
F
F
E
F
Even
if
you
are
an
architecture
engineer,
you
might
not
have
that
depth
of
knowledge
in
our
specific
areas.
So
we
do
a
lot
of
on-the-job
training
to
start
with
any
role.
So
we
anticipate
when
we
hire
someone
the
first
several
months,
two
weeks,
depending
on
the
number
of
certifications
that
they
need.
It
will
be
spent
studying
and
training
and
testing
sounds.
F
You
really
enjoy
your
work.
I
really
do
I.
Think
it's
incredibly
meaningful.
You
know
again,
you
talk
about
a
lot
of
issues
or
you,
you
travel
to
your
community
and
thank
gosh.
Why
is
it
like
that?
Or
how
can
we
all
work
together
to
improve
it
and
pl/I
is
really
the
mechanism
to
accomplish
a
lot
of
those
goals?
And
it's
also,
as
I
said
before,
really
tangible.
You
know:
I
I
might
not
have
a
great
idea
on
how
to
improve
health
metrics
for
the
city
as
a
whole.
F
But
if
you
live
in
a
walkable
community
and
you
have
a
safe
and
clean
house,
you
know
all
of
those
will
follow.
So
it's
a
it's
actually
a
very
affordable
and
easier
relative
intervention
into
property
me
into
like
gun,
violence
issues
and
health
issues.
So
I
participated
in
a
lot
of
studies
with
epidemiologist
with
crime.
You
know
sociology
is
doctors
and
things
like
that,
so
you
can
actually
track
the
interventions.
If
you
clean
up
vacant
lots
and
make
it
an
easier
place
to
live,
you
know
that
will
reduce
the
rates
of
diabetes
in
that
community.
