A
Beautiful
los
angeles
day-
and
it's
not
just
beautiful
because
of
the
environment,
we're
in
and
the
people
who
are
here
with
us,
this
historic
coalition,
but
it's
beautiful
because
of
what
this
day
represents
and
what
this
building
is
all
about.
It's
about
the
rebirth
of
a
city.
It's
about
the
rebirth
of
opportunity.
A
It's
about
the
reinvestment
in
people's
lives
here,
and
I
want
to
thank
first
and
foremost
our
governor
who,
together
with
our
state
legislature,
but
I
saw
in
the
midst
of
the
pandemic,
how
this
governor
stepped
forward
first
with
project
room
key
to
take
people
off
the
street,
who
we
believed
were
the
most
vulnerable
in
a
pandemic,
to
getting
sick
and
or
dying
and
to
make
sure
that
they
had
temporary
shelter.
But
I
had
private
conversations
with
this
governor
who
said
giving
them
shelter,
isn't
enough.
A
We've
got
to
solve
the
underlying
problem,
a
pandemic
that
started
long
before
kovitt
arrived
that
pandemic
of
homelessness
in
our
state
around
our
country
in
too
many
places
and
so
project
homekey
is
the
idea
that
when
everybody
said
well,
why
can't
cities
or
counties
housing
authorities
the
state?
Why
can't
we
buy
more
buildings
and
get
people
off
the
streets
today
get
buildings
where
we
can
help
people
ever
avoid
hitting
the
streets?
A
Now
in
this
second
round,
I
want
to
thank
the
governor
again
because
he
could
have
said
that
was
a
great
program
we
did
well.
The
pandemic
is
slowing
down
we're
done,
but
this
has
been
a
governor
from
the
time
he
was
mayor
to
his
entire
time
in
a
state
serving
now
as
our
governor
who
recognizes
the
importance
of
turning
people's
lives
around
one
of
you
asked
me,
I
think
it
was
alex.
Isn't
this
a
drop
in
the
bucket?
I
would
say
this
is
part
of
much
bigger
than
a
drop
in
the
bucket.
A
This
is
part
of
a
torrent
of
solutions
that
are
coming
in
a
city
that
used
to
build
300
permanent
supportive
housing
units
like
this,
for
people
who
are
homeless
will
open
up
more
than
3
000.
This
year,
more
than
10-fold
increase
thanks
to
the
support
of
the
governor.
Thanks
to
the
support
of
our
national
leaders
and
our
federal
government,
represented
today
by
our
dear
friend,
karen
bass.
A
In
each
of
these
rooms,
a
life
will
be
transformed,
hope
will
be
reborn,
and
I
want
to
thank
the
volunteers,
wells,
fargo
and
others
who
are
here
today,
who
really
showed
the
human
touch.
Writing
that
note
welcoming
somebody
home,
because
I
can
tell
you
all
of
us
who
have
moved
people
experiencing
homelessness
into
housing
like
this.
A
Just
in
the
city
of
los
angeles,
60
in
the
county
of
los
angeles,
then
in
a
just
a
few
years,
have
become
now
permanent
housing
to
rebuild
hope
and
when
people
come
from
housing
like
this
and
are
able
to
get
into
permanent
housing
elsewhere
because
of
the
good
jobs
they
have,
the
graduations
that
they
experience.
This
will
free
up
rooms
for
buildings
like
this,
to
redouble
that
number
and
triple
that
number
over
and
over
again,
so
I'm
sure,
there's
a
bunch
of
stuff.
A
I
was
supposed
to
say,
but
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
this
governor.
Thank
you
to
this
congresswoman
and
I
want
to
say
how
proud
I
am
to
have
served
in
the
toughest
years
that
the
city
has
ever
experienced
and
the
status
experience
was
somebody
who
had
such
vision
to
be
able
to
do
this,
and
I
also
want
to
thank
our
housing
authority,
doug
guthrie.
I
want
to
thank
our
housing
department
and
ann
sewell
for
being
entrepreneurial.
A
This
building
was
originally
going
to
be
a
market
rate
housing
project,
and
we
would
have
welcomed
it
to
the
neighborhood.
It's
beautiful.
It
has
amenities,
washers
and
dryers,
and
the
units
it
would
have
added
to
our
transit-oriented
development,
where
some
of
the
best
restaurants
here
on
pico
between
roscoe's
and
going
all
the
way
over
to
fairfax
are
blooming.
It's
the
very
best
of
la,
but
instead
of
it
just
helping
out
any
angelinos.
This
is
helping
out
the
most
vulnerable
angelinos,
the
most
vulnerable
californians,
and
for
that
I'm
deeply
grateful
gracias.
A
A
I've
been
so
proud
to
see
the
work
that
she
has
done
at
the
state
level,
the
federal
level,
the
international
level-
and
this
is
not
a
political
comment,
because
I
know
we
have
an
election,
a
very
important
election
and
I
do
encourage
everybody
to
vote,
but
I
I
couldn't
be
more
grateful
to
serve
alongside
this
friend
this
sister,
this
visionary
somebody
I
know
who
is
of
la
and
loves
la
and
who's
here
today
because
of
her
work,
we
are
celebrating
these
move-ins.
Please
welcome
congresswoman,
karen
bass.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you
good
afternoon,
everyone
and
thank
you,
mr
mayor
and
the
governor
for
your
leadership,
especially
for
purchasing
the
building
here
in
my
congressional
district,
but
also
in
the
neighborhood,
where
I
grew
up.
We
all
know
what
the
numbers
are.
We
all
know
that
several
people
probably
didn't
wake
up
this
morning,
and
this
is
an
example
of
the
solution.
B
B
People
will
stay
here
for
a
while
and
then,
of
course,
after
this
transition
into
mainstream
and
have
the
opportunity
to
work
and
be
able
to
afford
a
market
rate
house.
So
this
is
one
step
on
that
ladder
in
that
direction.
So
I'm
happy
to
be
here
today
and
I'd
like
to
take
the
opportunity
to
introduce
doug
guthrie,
who
is
the
ceo
of
hot
club,.
C
Just
thank
you
so
much
congresswoman,
it's
great
to
be
here
today.
I
want
to
welcome
everybody.
I
I
know
you've
been
out
here
for
a
while.
Now,
thankfully,
you
are
in
some
shade,
but
welcome
to
this
beautiful
building.
That
is
just
a
a
wonderful
building.
It's
part
of
the
efforts
under
project
homekey,
which
was
beautifully
designed
by
this
governor
and
by
the
state
and
and
the
folks
there.
As
the
mayor
announced,
this
is
the
second
round.
C
It's
not
a
be
all.
There
are
a
lot
of
efforts
on
many
different
fronts.
We're
fortunate
to
have
we've
had
great
relationships
with
the
congresswoman
over
all
these
years
on
affordable
housing
issues
in
our
district.
Of
course,
the
mayor
has
been
leading
the
charge
on
behalf
of
the
city,
the
governor,
on
behalf
of
the
state
and,
of
course,
we've
got
some
some
wonderful
partners,
both
within
the
city
and
sewell,
at
the
la
housing
department,
as
well
as
the
city
council
and
then,
of
course,
at
the
state.
C
D
D
There
is
no
one
single
reason
why
a
person
becomes
homeless,
but
what
we
know
for
certain
is
that
the
shortage
of
deeply
affordable
housing,
which
has
been
decades
in
the
making
that
shortage,
is
the
number
one
reason
that
aggravates
the
crisis
of
homelessness
and
homekey.
The
governor's
home
key
program
is
pivotal.
It's
essential
to
this
strategy
to
ameliorate
eradicate
one
day.
The
crisis
of
homelessness.
This
program
is
so
innovative.
I
mean
we
get
calls
from
the
white
house
from
the
federal
housing
department.
D
We
have
our
hot
regional
administrator
here
with
us
jason
boom
from
other
states.
Trying
to
you
know,
replicate
how
did
we
stand
up
this
program
that
has
accomplished
so
much
in
such
a
short
period
of
time?
You
know
hcd
the
state
housing
department,
we
have
dozens
of
affordable
housing
programs
and
at
best,
when
I
look
at
the
data
at
best,
we
each
of
these
programs
produce
maybe
a
thousand
two
thousand
units
of
affordable
housing
home
home
key
in
this
two
year
anniversary,
twelve
thousand
five
hundred
unit
record
times,
six
thousand.
D
And
it's
not
just
about
the
units,
as
we
know
it's
about
the
story
of
every
life
behind
each
and
every
one
of
these
units,
because
this
program
has
an
equity
focus
like
northern.
So
I
just
want
to
thank
our
local
partners
because,
without
that
this
program,
as
innovative
as
it
is,
wouldn't
be,
do
the
creativity
of
of
our
local
partners,
mayor
representative,
hakla,
all
of
our
local
partners
up
and
down
the
state
to
create
this.
D
This
momentous
momentous
program
going
forward-
and
I
just
want
to
say
we're
not
done
we're
not
done
this
is
just
you
know,
one
more
step
in
a
way
given
the
governor's
strategy
to
reduce
the
the
shortage
of
affordable
housing
and
again
eradicate
one
day.
The
issue
of
homelessness
and
leadership
matters
a
lot.
So
alongside
the
governor
is
la
secretary,
the
secretary
of
business,
consumer
services,
consumer
services
and
housing
agencies,
lourdes
castro.
E
Thank
you
gustavo
la
secretary
good
afternoon,
everyone.
So
we
just
wrapped
up
an
activity
and
it
was
more
than
an
activity.
It
was
an
opportunity
for
us
to
ready
units.
It
was
an
opportunity
for
us
to
prepare
the
home
for
a
family
that
will
be
moving
in
to
this
building
and
that
you've
heard
the
numbers.
You've
heard
the
incredible
success
that
homekey
has
had
thanks
to
governor
newsom
in
less
than
two
years
close
to
12
500
units.
E
We
are
continuing
to
do
everything
that
we
can,
in
partnership
with
our
local
entities,
to
quickly
bring
more
housing
units
to
individuals
that
are
experiencing
homelessness,
but
also
to
individuals
that
are
housing
insecure,
and
we
cannot
do
this
without
the
partnership
from
our
federal
partners.
I
do
want
to
recognize
from
hud
jason
pooh.
Thank
you.
E
And,
of
course,
the
the
person
behind
this
innovative
program,
the
person
that
is
always
inspiring
us
to
do
more
as
it
relates
to
housing,
affordability,
housing
access
and
ensuring
that
we're
providing
a
pathway
to
stability
and
a
pathway
to
opportunity
that
vision
and
that
energy
and
that
inspiration
comes
from
our
boss
from
governor
newsom.
So
I'd
like
to
introduce
governor
newsom
now.
F
F
I
imagine
people
have
a
little
fatigue
and
programs-
and
you
know
announcements
like
this
saying
I've
seen
this
for
years
and
years
and
years,
but
what
I
see
out
in
the
streets
is
simply
unacceptable
and
I
agree
with
that.
I
completely
agree
with
people's
anger,
their
frustration
they're.
You
know
some
people
are
demoralized.
Some
people
frankly
have
given
up
given
up
on
us,
given
up
on
the
prospect
that
we
can
never
solve
this
issue,
and
I
want
folks
to
know
they
shouldn't
give
up.
I
want
folks
to
know
we're
just
winding
up.
F
I
want
folks
to
know
we're
just
getting
started.
Let
me
be
specific
about
that.
Three
and
a
half
years
ago
we
got
up
there
in
sacramento,
there
was
no
homeless
plan,
no
homeless
strategy.
There
was
only
half
a
billion
dollars
out
there.
That
was
just
spread
all
over
the
state
of
california
without
any
accountability
attached
to
it.
No
coordination,
no
collaboration.
The
state
was
not
involved
in
the
issue
of
homelessness
it
resided
exclusively
at
the
county
level.
That
was
just
a
few
years
ago.
F
F
We
recognize,
as
a
former
mayor,
intimately
that
we
can't
do
this
alone
at
the
local
level
that
we
needed
to
step
up
our
game.
So
we
took
that
half
a
billion
dollar
appropriation
that
mayor
garcetti
led
with
the
big
13
mayors,
demanding
governor
brown
get
into
this
business
and
we
took
that
half
a
billion
dollars
and
we
just
got
through
the
legislature
just
a
few
weeks
ago,
a
multi-year
commitment
of
14.7
billion
dollars
from
half
a
billion
to
14.7.
F
Now
now,
on
my
opinion,
all
that
just
done
you
know,
I
don't
even
understand
what
these
dollars
mean.
I
just
want
to
see
folks
off
the
streets.
I
want
it
done
compassionately
thoughtfully
and
I'm
just
sick
and
tired.
So
here's
how
we're
breaking
it
down
marigar
said
garcia
was
absolutely
right.
Inspiration,
desperation,
we're
in
the
middle
of
coven
we're
trying
to
figure
out
new
strategies,
new
approaches,
we're
starting
to
approximate
our
strategies
in
the
budget,
and
we
realize
we
need
to
break
glass.
We
need
to
do
something
radically
differently.
F
When
the
mayor
pointed
out
karen
bass,
he
wasn't
just
being
kind.
It
wasn't
just
because
she's
here,
but
the
congresswoman
was
instrumental
in
helping
us
draw
down
federal
money
to
do
something
never
been
in
the
united
states
and
that's
where
this
room
key
model
came
from.
We
were
actually
able
to
use
846
million
dollars
of
federal
money,
not
a
dollar
estate
money
drew
down
846
million
dollars,
and
in
six
months
we
were
able
to
procure
bring
into
a
portfolio
over
6
000
housing
units
unprecedented
in
the
state's
history.
Do
the
math
on
that
I've.
F
F
F
That's
what
you
expect
we
own
this
we've
got
to
do
more,
and
we've
got
to
do
better
today,
we're
also
announcing
part
of
a
four
and
a
half
billion
dollar
commitment
to
directly
provide
housing
for
mentally
ill
behavioral
health
housing.
We
have
five
big
projects,
we're
announcing
today,
47
million
dollars
that
we're
putting
out
complementing
the
announcement
not
only
on
this
facility,
but
the
34
other
projects
35
in
total
that
are
part
of
this
round
of
support,
just
shy
of
700
million
dollars
that
we're
putting
out
today.
F
This
is
one
of
the
projects
and
providing
upwards
of
2
500,
actually
2509
units
to
be
exactly
in
this
round.
That
includes
by
the
way,
ventura
1000
oaks.
West
hollywood,
fontana
fresno
places
up
north
that
you've
all
heard
of
all
of
these
counties
19
different
counties
that
will
be
the
beneficiaries
of
these
projects.
So
this
is
one
of
many
different
components.
The
state
of
california
is
investing
in,
but
there's
nothing
more
urgent,
nothing
more
needed
than
addressing,
as
as
karen
bass
said,
this
fundamental
frame,
that
is
our
north
star,
shelter,
solves
sleep.
F
That's
important,
but
housing
and
supportive
services
solve
homelessness
and
that's
foundational
in
this
effort.
This
is
permanent
supportive
housing,
but
the
idea,
as
congresswoman
bass
said,
is
to
move
people
along
to
address
the
underlying
issues
and
allow
people
the
opportunity
to
live
in
dignity
and
to
get
back
on
their
feet
and
that's
why
we're
complementing
all
of
these
efforts
with
ongoing
services,
but
bottom
line
and
I'll
end
on
this
state
vision
can't
be
realized
in
sacramento.
F
It's
realized
at
the
local
level,
and
I
really
want
to
applaud
mayor
garcetti
for
not
only
embracing
this,
but
his
enthusiasm
of
bringing
other
mayors
along
and
leading
the
charge
with
mayors
in
cities,
large
and
small,
to
support
the
allocations
of
funding
that
we've
been
benefited
from
and
received
from
the
legislature
that
would
not
have
happened
had
he
not
stepped
up
and
other
mayors
recognizing
the
urgency
of
this
moment
and
recognizing
responsibility
to
do
things
radically
differently.
Final
words:
it's
a
flywheel,
we're
just
winding
up
we're
just
winding
up
these
dollars
are
now
moving.
F
These
projects
are
opening
up.
No
more
talk,
no
more
task
forces,
no
more
fights
for
appropriations.
We've
got
the
money,
we
have
the
strategies
and
guess
what
I
have
115
plans
from
115
jurisdictions
that
are
on
my
desk
waiting
for
the
states
to
approve
states
approval.
We
have
never
asked
the
cities
and
counties
for
anything
we've
written
checks,
but
we've
never
asked
anything
in
return
that
has
radically
changed.
Our
city
actually
said:
don't
give
us
money
unless
we
produce
the
plans,
and
so
we
have
those
115
plants.
F
F
You
know
so
many
pundits
out
there
attacking
the
state,
california,
the
lowest
unemployment
rate
in
its
history,
with
its
fastest
growth
rate
over
the
last
five
years
and
any
western
democracy
with
the
highest
reserves
and
surplus,
and
yet
people
still
feel
like
california
is
on
the
wrong
track.
This
fundamental
issue,
cost
of
living
and
housing
and
homelessness.
A
F
Over
and
over
again
that
nimbyism
has
got
in
the
way
of
progress
in
some
ways.
We
just
need
to
look
in
the
mirror
and
recognize
our
own
culpability
and
responsibility
as
it
relates
to
the
issue
of
affordable
housing
and
putting
board
in
care
homes
and
putting
supportive
units
in
neighborhoods,
because
people
don't
want
them
in
their
backyard,
because
they're,
nervous
and
scared
about
that,
and
one
of
the
great
things
about
the
room.
Key
home
key
model
is
the
technical
assistance
that
comes
with
it
from
the
state
and
the
support.
A
And
just
just
on
that
real
quickly,
because
I
want
to
be
specific
about
this-
the
neighborhood
council
here
thought
this
was
going
to
be
market
rate
heard.
It
was
going
to
suddenly
be
housing
for
folks
on
the
verge
of
homelessness
or
who
are
unhoused,
and
I
want
to
thank
them
because
it
does
take
patience
to
listen
to
explain
and
then
they
embrace
this.
So
I
won't
speak
for
all
californians,
but
certainly
angelinos
are
ready
to
say.
F
Well,
I'm
on
the
ballot
as
well.
I've
tried
to
stay
out
of
these
demon,
dem
races.
As
a
rule,
you
may
have
noticed
that,
and
that's
not
atypical
in
in
these
contests,
but
I
have
great
respect
for
the
congresswoman.
I
think
you
heard
that
and
and
I've
known
rick
caruso
for
years
and
years
and
years
and
I'll
just
leave
it
at
that.
I
appreciate
both
of
them
for
having
a
deep
passion
for
this
issue,
both
to
put
out
comprehensive
plans
and,
dare
I
say,
a
little
selfishly.
F
They
both
have
embraced
perhaps
the
most
significant
reform
to
mental
health
policy
since
ronald
reagan
in
1967
and
that's
care
court,
which
is
weeks
away
from
getting
approved
by
the
legislature.
That
is
a
game
changer
and
both
of
them
had
the
courage
to
come
out
and
support
that
publicly
long
before
they
knew
how
this
thing
would
end
up
in
the
california
legislature.
So
I'm
very
proud
of
them.
C
D
F
Little
read
between
the
lines.
Yeah,
I
mean.
That's,
that's
not
a
homeless
initiative.
I
think
some
of
the
money
they're
saying
going
to
homeless,
but
I
just
let's
mark
something
rather
significant
and
that
is
the
state
of
california-
has
committed
14.7
billion
dollars.
We're
not
looking
for
an
initiative
to
get
us
in
the
homeless,
business
we're
in
the
homeless
business.
So
I
know
initiatives
and
folks
will
say
anything
and
perhaps
that
initiative
will
provide
a
few
dollars,
I'm
not
supporting
or
opposing.
C
F
F
F
I
gotta
see
plans
first,
I
gotta.
I
gotta
see
what
the
strategy
is.
What's
the
plan?
What's
the
accountability,
what
the
metrics
are?
I
just
noted
there
are
115
strategies
and
plans
that
came
from
cities,
counties
and
what
we
call
cocs
that
just
came
to
the
state.
There
was
nothing
attached
in
that
legislation
to
provide
for
the
kind
of
accountability
that
I
think
we
need
if
we're
going
to
do
something
novel
along
those
lines,
I'm
very
familiar
with
san
francisco.
F
I've
had
the
privilege
of
getting
more
more
familiar
with
the
complexities
here,
in
los
angeles
and
certainly
in
oakland
you're
going
to
have.
You
have
two
mayor's
races,
you're
going
to
have
two
new
leaders.
This
is
a
commitment
through
this
legislation
for
unlimited
number
of
these
sites,
with
no
plans
that
have
been
attached
with
new
leaders.
That
may
have
different
points
of
view
in
just
a
matter
of
months.
This
was
not
ready
to
move
forward
and
that's
by
the
way,
a
commitment
well
into
the
decade
to
move
this
forward.
F
We
need
to
see
real
strategies
real
plans
and
until
we
see
that
I'll
be
hard-pressed
to
open
a
door
to
these
pilots
without
securing
that
first
concept.
Well,
I've
always
been
I've
said
this
in
the
past,
I've
always
been
open,
in
fact,
in
the
veto
made
that
point,
but
it's
going
to
be
on
different
terms
than
open-ended
terms,
and
it's
going
to
be
on
different
terms.
In
this
respect.
One
of
the
reasons
I
have
115
plans-
and
I
said
a
lot-
are
being
sent
back.
Is
cities
aren't
talking
to
counties?
F
I
mean
these.
Are
these
are
county-led
strategies?
Healthcare
is
delivered
at
the
any
level
and
while
it's
three
cities
that
are
leading
it,
I
got
to
know
the
relationship.
I
got
to
have
a
deeper
understanding
of
what
this
isn't
and
none
of
that
was
presented
in
that
bill,
and
so
that
was
the
approach.
F
I'm
not
going
to
do
that.
You're
going
to
be
you
guys,
will
lead
your
own
objective
minds.
I've
been
at
this
too.
Damn
long.
You
guys
have
seen
me
out
there.
I
was
a
damn
author
of
prop
64..
I
did
the
white
paper
before
that
came
out.
I
was
leading
the
charge
doing
you
know
needle
exchange
emergency
orders
as
a
county
board
of
supervisors.
F
I
did
the
first
mobile
method
on
van
in
the
united
states
history,
please
I
I
spare
me
drug
policy
alliance,
we're
close,
but
one
thing
that
wasn't
close
and
that
was
the
comprehensive
strategy
and
plan
to
make
sure
that
we're
doing
this
right.
It's
not
just
about
good
ideas.
It's
about
application,
implementation
and
I'll.
F
Tell
you
what's
gone
wrong
in
this
state
on
the
issue
of
homelessness
and
what's
going
on
with
housing,
lack
thereof
and
encampments
is
lack
of
execution
and
implementation,
and
so
I'm
not
interested
as
long
as
I'm
here
folks
will
have
that
chance
november
decide
how
long
I'm
not
interested
in
opening
up
any
new
opportunities
for
anything
except
results.
We
see
results,
we
see
concrete,
measurable
movement
in
the
right
direction
and
we
could
package
something
together.
That's
sound
and
thoughtful
and
has
constraints
and
parameters.
F
We
put
out
a
detailed
and
comprehensive
strategy
to
address
the
energy
issue,
affordability
issue.
We
think
it's
necessary
we're
working
closely
with
the
legislature
last
night
this
morning,
my
drive
down
on
the
phone
and
I'm
confident
we'll
land
this
it's
complex.
It's
part
and
parcel
of
a
larger
package,
53.9
billion
dollars
to
be
exact
as
part
of
our
energy
and
climate
package,
the
largest
sub-national
package
in
the
world.
By
the
way,
I
hope
all
of
you
are
paying
some
attention.
Two
years
ago
we
took
a
risk.
F
F
Tomorrow,
california,
resources
board
is
going
to
codify
that
we
will
be
the
first
jurisdiction
in
the
world
to
require
all
new
cars
to
be
sold
to
be
alternative
fuel
cars
and
here's
why
it's
significant,
besides
being
a
game
changer
in
terms
of
our
climate
and
our
energy
leadership,
it's
a
game
changer
in
another
respect
that
the
car
manufacturers
themselves
are
celebrating
and
embracing
it,
including
toyota.
Today,
not
just
ford
and
gm.
We
are
going
through
one
of
the
great
transformations
in
our
history,
energy
transformations
and
the
electrification
is
the
architecture
for
economic
transformation.
F
I
never
have
are
you
kidding
me,
I
mean
there's
no
data
scientist
in
the
world.
That
would
suggest
you
can
trust
it,
but
what
I
do
trust
is
what
you
trust
is
your
own
eyes
and
so
high
low.
I
mean
look.
I
I
also
trust
that
these
folks
behind
me
have
done
a
hell
of
a
lot
more
than
any
of
their
predecessors.
That's
not
an
indictment
in
getting
more
people
off
street
than
any
time
in
history,
but
I
also
recognize
it's
a
dynamic.
It's
not
static
number
and
there's
no.
F
Having
made
it,
you
don't
start
with
10
people
and
you
get
10
units
and
then
you
solve
the
problem,
and
so
this
is
a
challenging
issue
and
and
I'm
deeply
empathetic
I'm
here
as
a
you
know,
I'm
not
I'm.
I
almost
feel
like
I'm
mayor
of
california,
coming
here,
not
governor
california,
trying
to
help
the
cities
and
counties
because
you
know
for
all
the
herculean
efforts.
You
can't
do
it
alone
anymore
and
I'll
be
honest
with
you
I'll,
be
deeply
honest
with
you.
F
Well,
I
mean
we're
doing
this
all
in
real
time
I
told
you,
we
got
6
000
housing
units
up
in
six
months.
I
mean
this
has
never
been
done
in
the
united
states
history
by
the
way
room,
key
and
homekey
are
now
national.
Best
practices
literally
have
been
replicated
by
the
bind
administration,
and
I
have
governors
across
the
country
saying
we
want
to
replicate
the
model
new
york's
one
of
those
that
are
trying
to
replicate
the
model.
We're
really
excited
about
that
and
proud
of
it.
F
No
one
wants
to
wait
four
five
six
years
and
by
the
way
I'll
end
on
this
goes
your
first
question,
and
it
is
the
last
question
is
it
we
did
something
not
everybody
supported,
but
I'm
very
proud
of,
and
forgive
me
the
mayor
does
an
amazing
job
at
community
outreach
councils
and
others,
and
that's
right.
Community
is
critical,
but
too
often,
even
with
that
good
intention
takes
one
or
two
people
to
shut
down
these
projects.
