So don't get me wrong, I like the high resource area.

I didn't go back into the whole housing element, but it felt like, damn, this covers pretty much everything.

Why is this other stuff here, was kind of my reaction.

And without a map to look at, it was kind of hard to do that.

So I really recommend you include this in the council report because they may have the same question on it.

The next question, so you've, when you include, when you do something that has a partner, does the city have a veto over the partner that's chosen?

Is that a legal issue, Ms.

City Attorney?

Part of my question is, I am familiar with projects up in San Francisco as well, and there are below market rate housing developers who are basically crooks, okay, and have been banned from things by the city of San Francisco.

And it would be, I wouldn't want to have somebody come in and bring in a partner that we look at and says, well, these people are crooks.

So we don't want them.

It seems odd to me that we wouldn't have some ability to say, well, you know what?

We're not approving them as a partner.

Okay, clarifying question.

So if this is moved, so the administrative, the move to make this administrative is not changing regulations, this is,

I thought this is something that we would still ultimately have to approve.

So there is a discretionary component of this.

The city is taking on by allowing the off-site compliance option that we would be able to review.

And so we could choose not to approve that option if they bring in somebody that doesn't look like they're going to be a good partner, wouldn't we?

Because we're granting this as an alternative and that we can just say, no, we're not going to accept this alternative.
