So that, to my knowledge, has gone.
And they would not have been able to even get a notice to proceed to break construction had that environmental cleanup not happened.
You're right.
You feel confident about that?
that oversight from the county?
I do feel confident of that because I'm sure you've heard other people on your show complain that Durham is so slow in everything that they do.
Well, but that's my point.
I have confidence in Durham's looking at the environment.
They would not have been able to start construction if Durham had not passed that, which means they are complying with all of our county codes and all of the state codes, as well as well.
You probably know this, but Durham is a delegated authority for a number of environmental permits from the state and also from the federal government.
So I feel good about that.
But it is very clear
that the entire administration of the city of Miami is harnessing all of it can do because those construction permits are 99 out of 100 of those permits are coming through the city.
So it is interesting, right?

By the way, I'm excited we're having soccer here."
But at the same time, if I were to put into permitting, which I did, I just tried to permit an affordable housing building, very, very low-income seniors on 17th Avenue in Little Havana.
15 months to get the permit out to build to just break ground on housing for low income seniors.
So the city has to be able to do more than one thing at the time.
We have to be able to get a homeowner permits to replace his windows with hurricane windows.
