A
Greetings
and
welcome
to
another
inside
philadelphia
city
council
today
we're
joined
by
Councilwoman
Cindy
bass.
Thank
you
for
joining
us
council.
Thank
you.
So,
in
the
news
a
lot
lately
has
been
a
VI
has
been
a
lot
of
talk
about
it,
but
there
you
guys
had
a
study
done
talk
about
some
of
the
things
that
came
out
of
what
you
found
well.
B
I
think
one
of
the
important
things
about
a
VI
and
the
information
we
just
received
is
that
there
was
a
breakdown
in
terms
of
what
would
happen
with
each
council
district.
So
for
me
it
was
helpful
because
it
showed
me
what
the
options
were
in
my
district,
but
also
I
don't
want
to
make
decisions
that
are
going
to
be
difficult
for
my
colleagues
and
for
other
citizens
in
Philadelphia.
It
looks
like
in
my
district
with
with
the
$30,000
homestead
that
was
proposed.
B
We'd
have
about
75%
of
our
residents
having
a
decrease
actually
in
their
property
taxes,
but,
conversely,
there
could
be
some
serious
increases.
We
know
in
other
parts
of
the
town,
another
parts
of
town,
mainly
Center,
City,
South,
Philadelphia
and
Northern
Liberties
those
areas.
So
you
know
we
want
to
be
cognizant
about
what's
happening
in
all
parts
of
Philadelphia,
but
it
looks
like
for
the
northwest.
It
looks
pretty
good
talk.
A
B
He
is
so
important
for
a
lot
of
different
reasons.
You
know
one
of
the
stories
that
I
tell
all
the
time
is
when
my
husband
and
I
bought
our
first
house
when
we
first
got
married,
we
you
know
moved
in
and
a
neighbor
came
over
and
he
said
welcome
to
the
neighborhood.
Let
me
tell
you
about
the
neighborhood
blah
blah
blah.
You
know,
oh
you,
you
just
missed
it.
Mister
so-and-so
who
lived
up
the
street
he
used
to
work
for
the
BRT.
B
We
never
had
an
increase
in
property
taxes
on
this
block,
and
so
you
know
that's
kind
of
the
way
in
many
neighborhoods
that
taxes
were
levied.
If
you
knew
someone,
if
you
were
in
a
particular
area,
it
was
all
very
political
and
very
connected,
so
speak,
and
so
the
idea
behind
AV
is
to
make
a
system-
that's
actually
fair,
so
that
you
don't
have
other
some
some
group
subsidizing
another
group
and
that
you
know
everybody
should
should
basically
pay
their
fair
share.
B
What
we
don't
want
to
do
is
we
don't
want
to
tax
people
out
of
their
homes
and
so
I
think
that
we
want
to
be
responsible
about.
What's
been
done
in
many
instances,
it's
not
the
fault
of
the
people
who
live
in
the
neighborhoods.
You
know
they
were
not
a
party
to
what
some
of
the
political
mechanisms
that
were
going
on
before,
but
we
have
to
get
a
system.
That's
fair
and
that's
right,
and
it's
going
to
work
for
everyone
were.
B
Was
somewhat
surprised
that
so,
for
example,
in
my
district,
that
the
numbers
would
be
as
favorable
I,
I
guess,
I
would
say
for
my
district
as
they
have
been
I
thought
that
we
would
have
a
good
portion
of
our
district
go
down
over
50%.
But
I
didn't
think
that
with
the
homestead
exemption
it
would
be
around
75
percent.
But
that's
you
know
good
news
for
a
lot
of
people
who
have
been
paying
overpaying
for
quite
some
time
now
in.
A
That
dealing
with
the
tax
situation,
obviously
it
gets
to
be
quite
controversial
in
your
mind.
What
do
you
think
is
fair
for
residents
to
be
expected
to
do
tax
wise?
You
have
your
people
who
say:
I
don't
want
to
pay
any
taxes
ever
then
you
have
other
people
who
say
you
know,
part
of
being
a
resident.
Philadelphia
is
paying
taxes
so
in
in
that
space.
How
do
you
determine
what's
fair
and
what's
not
fair?
Well,.
B
Now
I'd
like
to
buy
a
property
on
Rittenhouse
Square
for
71
thousand
dollars,
I'd
like
to
buy
one
right
today,
but
the
fact
of
the
matter
is:
is
that
obviously
that's
not
the
right,
fair
market
value
when
they
were
reassessed?
They
came
back
I
believe
in
a
four
million
dollar
range,
each
a
little
bit
of
a
difference,
a
little
bit
of
a
difference,
and
so
the
idea
is
that
you
know
you
want
to
get
people
closer
to
where
they
will
be,
and
we
recognize
that
avi
is
a
system.
B
That's
still
in
progress,
it's
still
a
work
in
progress
and
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
get
it
right.
We
get
a
fair.
We
know
that,
for
example,
in
my
district
there
are
some
properties
that
have
been
assessed
that
are
identical.
One
property
may
be
assessed
for
honey
thousand
150,000.
They
may
be
twins
in
some
instances
that
are
identical,
and
why
is
that?
So
we
still
have
some
work
to
do.
B
We
still
have
some
tweaking
to
be
done,
but
I
believe
that
we
are
headed
down
the
right
path
to
get
away
from
the
old
system.
We
know
the
old
system
was
broken.
We
know
that
it
was
unfair.
We
know
that
it
was
inequitable,
it
just
didn't
work.
For
so
many
reasons
it
was
political,
it
should
not
have
been,
and
so
it's
a
you
know
these
are
growing
pains,
but
this
is
progress
and
I
think
once
we
get
it
right,
people
will
will
buy
in
now.
A
One
of
the
other
issues
that
comes
around
with
the
taxing
situation
in
the
city
deals
with
gentrification
and
how
some
people's
prices
explode
upwards
and
then
having
to
deal
with
that
people
who've
been
in
their
neighborhoods,
10
20,
sometimes
40,
50
years
and
now
having
to
deal
with
possibly
losing
their
home
because
they
can't
afford
the
taxes.
How
do
you
deal
with
that?
As
a
City
Council
one
is
someone
who's
representing
a
district,
but
then
also
trying
to
draft
legislation
that
will
benefit
the
whole
city
right.
B
Well,
it's
not
as
much
of
an
issue
in
my
district,
but
as
an
example.
Today
we
were
in
Kensington
and
a
part
of
Kensington
that
is
clearly
has
been
gentrified
and
I
was
with
Councilman
school
and
he,
you
know,
showed
me
some
of
the
properties
that
would
be
affected
and
some
of
the
residents
who
were
from
the
neighborhood
had
longtime
residents
and
who
were
greatly
concerned
about
being
taxed
out
of
their
homes.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
whatever
we
do,
we
are
not
holding,
we
are
not
harming
people.
B
We
want
to
make
sure
that
people
who
have
been
in
their
neighborhoods
can
stay
there.
These
are
family
homes
in
Philadelphia,
we
know
is
a
city
of
neighborhoods
and
a
families,
and
we
don't
want
to
disrupt
that.
That's
who
we
are
that's
what
the
city
is,
and
so
we
have
to
really
be
cognizant
about
the
decisions
we
make
so.
A
B
It's
important
because
people
really
want
to
know
what's
happening
and
I
think
one
of
the
things
we
did
that
actually
was
a
disservice,
not
not
city
council,
but
the
city
administration
itself
and
the
folks
who
put
together
the
new
assessments
we
mailed
out
assessments,
and
we
told
folks
this
is
what
your
old
assessment
is,
and
this
is
what
your
new
assessment
is.
But
what
they
really
want
to
know
is:
what's
my
tax
rate,
what
is
my
tax
rate
gonna
be?
You
know
my
property
was
assessed
before
at
$20,000.
B
Now
it's
assessed
at
120
thousand
dollars
am
I
going
to
have
the
same
sort
of
incremental
increase
in
my
real
estate
taxes
and
that's
what
people
really
want
to
know
and
so
I
think
we
did
them
a
disservice
in
not
providing
what
attacks,
what
the
tax
ranges
could
be.
So
you
know,
just
as
we
gave
them
the
old
assessment
and
the
new
assessment
we
could
have
given
them
the
old
tax
rate
of
what
they
paid
and
what
the
range
of
the
new
with
it
with
a
1.25
21.4,
one
percent.
B
B
Just
that
I
think
that
it,
you
know
it's
it's
time
to
get
it
right.
When
we
don't
have
a
adequate
tax
base,
we
can't
fund
our
schools.
We
can't
pay
for
the
services
that
people
want
and
deserve.
We
can't
keep
our
city
clean.
We
can't
offer
options
to
do
something
about
the
crime.
Do
something
about
our
neighborhoods
do
something
about
blight.
These
are
all
things
that
need
to
be
addressed
in
taxes.
You
know
that's
how
we
make
it
happen.
It
doesn't
just
come
out
of
thin
air.
B
You
know
that's
how
we
pay
for
all
these
things
and
so
we're.
We
have
a
tax
system
that
works.
It's
going
to
benefit
us
all,
and
also
we
have
to
think
about
tax
fairness
in
terms
of
collecting
outstanding
delinquent
taxes,
the
City
Philadelphia
sold
about
a
half
billion
dollar.
A
lot
of
that
money
is
uncollectible
just
because
we
haven't
done
anything
about
it
and
so
long.
So
we
have
to
get
back
on
that
as
well.
How.
A
That
make
you
feel
you
know
coming
into
counsel
and
knowing
that
the
city
has
all
this
back
money
that
they
didn't
collect
and
now
part
of
this
tax
issue
is
the
fact
that
well
it's
time
we
start
getting
more
aggressive
and
it
seems
like
it's
being
taken
out
long
residents
who
didn't
do
anything
wrong.
It's.
B
Disturbing
it's
disappointing.
It
feels
you
know
you
wonder:
how
do
we
get
in
this
situation
in
the
very
first
place?
How
do
we
get
here?
Why
is
Philadelphia
at
the
very
bottom
in
terms
of
large
cities
in
collection
efforts?
Why
is
that?
And
you
know,
while
we're
examining
that
and
looking
forward
to
you,
know,
fixing
the
situation,
we
need
to
make
sure
if
this
never
happens
again
and
that
we,
at
the
same
time
as
doing
avi,
that
we
are
offering
a
plan
to
our
citizens
in
terms
of
how
we're
going
to
fix.
B
You
know
how
we're
going
to
fix
our
problem.
You
know
just
as
I
said
you
know,
there
are
a
lot
of
people
who
didn't
have
a
party
to
the
problems
in
their
neighborhoods.
In
terms
of
you
know
the
taxes
being
sort
of
fixed.
You
know
we
have
to
be
responsible
for
what's
happening.
You
know
on
our
n,
we
have
to
make
sure
that
people
understand
that
we're
trying
to
go
out
there
and
get
that
revenue
that's
owed
to
us
so
that
we
can
get
the
tax
rate
that's
as
low
as
possible.
Another.
A
B
Public
safety
is
a
big
issue
in
Philadelphia
and
even
though
right
now,
the
latest
information
we
have
is
that
you
know
violent
crime
is
down
in
Philadelphia,
which
is
a
great
thing.
We
need
to
be
vigilant.
We
need
to
stay
on
top
of
it.
We
need
to
make
sure
that
there,
if
there's
anything,
that
other
cities
are
doing,
who
are
in
similar
situations,
that
we
look
at
what
they're
doing
as
well.
B
We've
looked
at
cameras,
I
think
that
that'll
go
a
long
way
and
in
terms
of
having
an
adequate
camera
system
to
making
sure
that
we
address
some
of
the
issues
we
have
around
crime
and
Public
Safety.
But
beyond
that,
you
know
supporting
our
Police
Department
supporting
their
budget.
You
know
one
of
the
other
things
that
we
can
do
when
you
go
back
to
taxes
and
delinquent
taxes,
as
we
were
just
talking
about
is
a
lot
of
those
properties
are
blighted,
and
so,
where
you
have
blighted
properties,
you
have
crime,
so
it's
all
sort
of
interwoven.
B
You
know
it's
it's
all
intermix,
and
so,
if
we
can
do
something
about
blight,
we
can
address
crime.
If
we
can
do
something
about,
you
know,
boarded
up
houses
in
neighborhoods
that
are
tax
delinquent.
We
can
do
something
about
usually
drug
activity,
prostitution,
all
sorts
of
other
reckless
behavior.
That
happens.
B
You
know
these
things
are
connected,
so
we
had
the
opportunity
to
go
out
on
a
ride
around
with
Commissioner
Ramsey
last
year
and
he
was
very
helpful
in
helping
us
see
things
that
we
didn't
know,
but
from
a
police
perspective,
the
things
that
we
could
be
aware
of
hotspots
and
our
district
and
things
of
that
nature.
So
we
have
a
great
working
relationship
with
the
police
I'm
going
to
continue.
That
has.
A
B
B
A
A
Obviously
that's
got
to
be
concerned
for
Public
Safety
and
making
sure
that
they're
safe
corridors
for
children
to
get
to
and
from
school,
and
then
when
something
does
happen,
because
you
know
when
we
were
kids,
kids
got
into
fights
also,
but
making
sure
that
it
doesn't
explode
it
to
big
things
and
cause
larger
problems.
Well,.
B
We
do
have
a
great
concern
about
our
young
people,
what
happens
after
school
because,
as
you
know,
what
happens
after
school
really
does
carry
over
to
the
next
day
and
the
next
day
and
the
next
day
and
before
you
know
what
I
say
year,
long
fight
battle
argument
really
for
nothing.
We're
greatly
concerned
right
now
about
the
merger
between
Germantown,
high
school
and
Martin
Luther
King
high
school,
which
the
district,
as
you
know,
has
plant
make
plans
to
close
Germantown
high
school.
We
were
greatly
you
know,
concerned
about,
what's
going
to
happen
after
school
there.
B
How
do
we
get
in
front
of
those
issues?
I
know
that
there
are
a
number
of
places
we're
going
to
do
safe
corridors,
but
it's
a
little
more
difficult
for
high
school
students
and
I'm
trying
to
figure
those
situations
out.
So
you
know
we
made
a
number
of
arguments
with
the
district
in
terms
of
alternatives
that
they
could
do
instead
of
closing
Germantown
high
school.
B
What
the
alternatives
would
be
where
they
could
go,
how
it
would
work,
what
other
schools
and
resources
we
could
bring
into
the
Germantown
building,
because
a
lot
of
these
sort
of
rivalries
have
gone
on
for
decades,
they're,
nothing
new
and
so,
but
unfortunately,
the
district
decided
to
close
Germantown
high
school
and
move
those
kids
over
to
King,
and
so
we're
going
to
have.
You
know
by
all
accounts
we're
going
to
have
a
lot
of
activity.
B
A
Do
you?
How
do
you
deal
with
that?
As
a
politician
in
a
position,
you
know
that's
something
that
it
seems
like
it
can
get
so
large
and
kind
of
out
of
control,
because,
although
that's
in
your
district,
obviously
this
is
a
citywide
thing
and
it's
being
impacted
basically
because
of
decisions
made
by
the
state
so
having
all
those
factors
come
together
at
once.
How
do
you
do
that
with
that?
As
an
individual
council
person
well.
B
I
think
one
of
the
things
we're
going
to
have
to
do
because
we
can't
depend
on
the
state.
You
know
government
can't
do
do
all
of
it.
We
can't
depend
on
the
state
for
the
resources
that
I
believe
that
they
should
provide
to
us
here
in
Philadelphia,
I,
think
they've
been
shorting
us
for
years,
and
that's
no
secret
that
you
know,
but
that
being
said,
I
think
that
we
as
a
community
have
to
get
in
there
and
make
sure
that
this
happens,
that
it
happens
right.
We
have
to
organize
our
parents.
B
We
have
to
organize
our
education
professionals.
We
have
to
also
talk
to
the
police
department.
The
14th
district
covers
covers
that
area.
As
an
example,
we
have
to
get
all
the
providers
into
the
neighborhood.
I
did
ask
Commissioner
Ramsey
during
our
city
council
budget
hearings
this
week
about
the
school
closures
and
the
effects
it
will
have.
I
have
brought
it
all
in
the
in
my
district,
which
is
a
big
hub
for
young
people
coming
from
different
schools.
B
So,
even
if
it's
not
the
king
in
Germantown
situation,
you'll
have
brought
an
Allen
e,
which
is
a
major
hub
for
young
people.
You
also
have
brought
an
Erie,
which
is
in
my
district,
another
major
hub
for
young
people,
traveling
to
and
fro
throughout
the
city,
and
so
we
need
for
these
places
to
be
safe,
and
so
there's
going
to
need
to
be
a
number
of
stepped
up
efforts
by
the
Philadelphia
police
district
and
the
school
district
police
to
ensure
the
safety
of
our
young
people.
How.
A
B
Critical,
we
can't
do
anything
without
civic
engagement.
I
think
that
we
we've
had
a
drop
in
some
of
the
engagement
I
think
that
people
generally
there's
a
couple
of
things
going
on
I
think
the
economy.
People
are
working,
two
three
jobs,
just
to
keep
the
lights
on,
just
to
keep
the
rent
paid,
and
we
certainly
understand
that,
but
where
we
do
have
an
opportunity,
whether
they're,
seniors
or
retired
professionals,
we
need
to
get
them
engaged.
One.
A
B
B
One
of
the
things
that
we
like
to
do
is
to
restrict
guns
from
public
buildings,
and
so
whether
that's
this
building
here
in
City
Hall
when
you
come
in,
you
have
to
go
through
the
magnetometer
and
make
sure
that
you
don't
have
a
gun
or
a
weapon
on
you
and
it's
for
safety
sake
for
the
elected
officials
who
work
in
these
buildings
and
for
all
the
folks
who
work
here.
My
thought
is
why
wouldn't
we
have
that
in
our
playgrounds
where
our
most
vulnerable
citizens
are
our
children?
B
And
so
the
idea
is
that
we
won't
have
magnetometers
where
you
have
to
walk
through,
but
there
will
be
an
increased
fine
and
penalty
if
you
are
caught
with
a
weapon
at
one
of
our
recreation,
centers
and
I.
Think
that
we
want
to
spread
the
word.
We
want
people
to
take
it
very
very
seriously
and
let
them
know
that
this
is
not
a
place
for
foolishness.
You
know
one
of
the
things
that
I'd
like
to
do.
B
I'm,
the
chair
of
the
Parks
and
Recreation
Committee
for
City
Council
and
one
of
the
things
I'd
like
to
do,
is
really
place
an
emphasis
on
safety
in
all
of
our
centers
and
find
ways
that
we
can
make
them
as
safe
as
possible.
And
nothing
is
more
important
than
the
safety
and
the
education
of
our
young
people
in
Philadelphia.
What.
A
B
A
B
May
be,
there
may
be
some
state
interference.
We
would
hope
to
have
their
support
and
now,
with
senator
Toomey,
doing
some
work
on
the
federal
side.
We're
hopeful
that
maybe
he
would
be
considering
being
being
an
advocate
for
what
it
is
that
we're
trying
to
do.
This
is
really
about
the
safety
of
young
people
and
I'm
sure
that
he
would
want
to
make
sure
that
Philadelphia's
young
people
I
have
an
opportunity
to
go
to
a
safe,
nurturing
caring
environment
like
a
playground
or
a
recreation
center.
So.
A
B
We
look
at
the
issue
of
the
day,
and
so,
if
there's
a
hot-button
issue
that
we
need
to
be
on
top
of
that
we
hear
from
our
constituents,
you
know
one
of
the
great
things
about
representing
the
8th
district.
Is
you
hear
from
your
constituents?
You
know
they
call,
they
write,
they
email
they
phone,
they
fax,
and
we
appreciate
all
of
that
because
we
really
want
to
hear
from
you.
We
want
to
hear
what
your
thoughts
are
with
your
concerns
and
questions.
Our
people
call
me
all
the
time
they
leave
a
message.
B
I
call
everyone
back,
I
return,
every
single
phone
call,
so
it's
important
for
us
to
be
able
to
hear
from
people
and
understand
how
what
it
is
that
they
would
like
for
us
to
prioritize
that
that's
normally
our
course
of
business
with
it
doesn't
matter
as
much.
What
our
agenda
may
be,
we're
here
to
be
responsive,
to
hear
what
constituents
have
to
say
and
to
really
work
for
them.
So
we
really
do
try
to
put
that
into
everyday
practical
use
in
our
office.
One.
A
Of
the
other
issues
that
you're
dealing
with
anyone
who
has
universities
in
their
district
Austin
has
to
deal
with
the
idea
of
university
is
obviously
a
wonderful
thing
to
have
for
the
city
all
the
things
that
it
does
for
a
community,
but
there
can
also
be
a
push
and
pull
between
the
University
and
residents.
How
do
you
deal
with
that
in
your
district,
and
how
do
you
deal
with
that
overall?
Well,.
B
As
you
mentioned,
we
have
LaSalle
University
in
my
district.
It's
a
large
institution,
it's
a
major
institution
in
my
district,
and
we
want
to
be
supportive
of
LaSalle,
and
we
also
need
LaSalle
to
be
supportive
of
the
community,
and
so
we've
had
a
number
of
conversations
and
negotiations
with
LaSalle
about
various
issues
and
concerns
and
items.
I
would
say
the
biggest
issue
that
we
have
is.
You
know
you
have
young
people
who
want
to
do
what
young
people
would
like
to
do.
B
I
like
they
listen
to
music,
they
like
to
have
parties
they
like
to
have
friends
over
they
like
to
stay
up
late
and
so
in
a
normal
sense
that,
although
all
of
those
things
are
fine
on
a
college
campus.
But
the
issue
that
we
have
is
that
you
know
for
the
most
part
you're
in
an
urban
neighborhood,
and
you
have
a
lot
of
neighbors
who
are
seniors
or
who
have
been
in
their
homes
for
twenty
or
thirty
or
forty
years
or
more,
and
so
we
have
to
find
the
right
balance
there
has
to
be.
B
You
know
our
respect
for
the
community
for
the
neighborhood
I'm,
recognizing
that
you're
not
sort
of
like
at
a
Penn
State,
where
you're
at
a
you
know,
are
sort
of
a
more
rural
campus
away
from
anything
except
for
the
College
itself.
You
know
you're
located
within
a
city
which
has
you
know,
people
who
have
lived
here
and
you
know
being
here
for
a
short
stint.
There
has
to
be
respect
given
to
the
people
who
live
in
the
community.
So
it's
an
issue.
B
A
You
talked
about
the
school
issue
earlier
for
his
grade
school
and
high
school
issues
in
the
district,
and
then
you
have
institutions
like
LaSalle
in
your
district
and
across
the
city,
we've
seen:
partnerships
between
universities
and
some
of
the
local
schools
in
their
area.
Is
there
something
like
that
in
place
for
the
sound?
Is
there
any
talk
about
having
LaSalle
engaged
in
supporting
some
of
these
school
efforts?
There's.
B
B
It's
you
know:
we
feel
that
it's
going
to
have
a
devastating
impact
on
the
community,
we're
working
hard
to
revitalize
that
commercial
corridor
we've
been
working
on
it
for
quite
some
time,
and
so
this
closure
comes.
You
know
it's
shocking,
it's
disturbing
it's
something
that
really
is
a
setback,
but
still
we
are
moving
forward
with
our
plans
to
bring
the
commercial
corridor
forward.
B
A
Up
in
that
neighborhood
going
to
the
market
I
used
to
get
my
hair
cut,
I
used
to
cut
school
to
get
my
hair
cut
right
across
the
street
from
Germantown
front
I
jump
in
town
high
school.
So
a
does
it
are
you
worried
about
the
loss
being
so
sudden,
and
particularly
in
this
fragile
economic
climate
that
we're
in
that
this
kind
of
loss
to
the
neighborhood
could
be
such
a
shock
that
it
kind
of
sends
things
going
in
the
wrong
direction
quickly?
It's.
B
A
problem:
it's
really
a
problem,
so
I
had
a
business
owner
who
told
me
at
the
announcement
that
Germantown
was
actually
going
to
be
closing,
but
she
was
closing.
She
said.
Germantown
high
school
students
were
a
majority
of
her
business.
They
would
come
in
every
day
they
would
shop.
She
had
a
consignment
shop,
they
would
shop
that
the
things
were
affordable,
they
would
buy
from
her
and
she
was
already
struggling
to
survive
and
she
says
you
know
I
work,
even
though
my
business
was
open
from
10:00
to
6:00.
B
I
worked
pretty
much
24
hours
a
day,
7
days
a
week
to
keep
this
business
open,
and
she,
just
you,
know,
kind
of
threw
up
her
hands
in
the
air
and
said
you
know.
I've
had
enough
enough
is
enough,
and
so,
when
I
hear
things
like
that,
it
breaks
my
heart
and
I
know
that
she's,
not
the
only
one
that
Germantown
high
school
students
supported
a
lot
of
those
businesses,
whether
it
be
the
the
cheesesteak
and
homey
shops,
or
you
know
the
barbershops
and
beauty
salons
or
any
of
the
the
shops
along
the
Avenue.
B
So
you
know
it's
going
to
have
an
impact,
and
now
we
have
to
find
a
way
to
make
sure
that
we
reduce
that
impact
as
much
as
possible.
You
know
we're
disappointed,
but
we
are
still
moving
forward.
Chairman
town
is
the
largest
part
of
my
district
and
has
a
lot
of
energy.
Has
it
has
a
lot
of
potential
I
think
as
far
as
my
district
is
concerned,
I
believe
it's,
the
part
of
the
district
that
has
the
most
potential
with
a
small
amount
of
investment.
