Notable Quotes (3)
I don't quite understand why we have a lot with minimum if if we meet the setbacks. Let people do what they want. We have to densify our city.
The only downside of that is that kind of meeting that consumer-based expectation of an adequate building pad.
Density is awesome. It's our it's our plan for the city. It's it's going to happen whether we want it to or not.
