I think um I wanted to note that in san francisco and oakland bart is uh they're reopening their public bathrooms at the downtown san francisco and oakland bart stations after 20 years of 9, 11 they're, finally, opening reopening their bathrooms- and it just reminded me- I you know- to make a point of it uh at public comment time and the work that we're doing I mean, isn't the work we are doing to kind of like end the concepts of war and work towards concepts of sustainability and peace and and it's open democracy that really works towards those good ideas and goals, and it's openness and accountability that san jose itself had a really important part in with the 2007 uh sunshine ordnance, issues that you know, I'm basing a lot of my work on with the aclu at this time about- and you know it's those open and accountable ideas that I really think can help organize and guideline uh help offer good guidelines for the questions you have at this time, and I I think it really that the minimal use of technology for these projects can really do just as much as an oversaturation of technology uh in local areas- and we have to learn those lessons now we have to learn to build towards uh sustainable ideas for our future and not we're not in a state of war anymore, and you know what that war was about, and it was a bad decision and we went around with really bad thinking from that war and we're trying to correct ourselves we're trying to bring ourselves back to our better selves, and that means a future where we don't have to have uh pandemics like this.
