you're doing great in your state.
And that's in the face of New York, my hometown, New Jersey, Boston, like losing a lot of business leaders.
And you've been scoring some big wins.
So when you look at your track record, maybe you could just educate the audience on what you've gotten done.
And maybe in comparison to what's happening in those other states with other Democratic leaders, because you seem to be
Maybe the exception to this rule that Democrats aren't getting it done on a business level.
Let's just take the permitting as an example.
Why is it so dysfunctional in California?
Obviously, I'm an investor in technology companies, and we just saw red tape after red tape.
Then on housing, it's incredibly hard to build anything.
The nimbyism, if you cast a shadow, nothing can be built, and then housing prices keep going up.
And if you want to hire a nanny or a teacher, or if a firefighter moves in, they can't even afford a home in the community that they're servicing.
So how did you fix this?
And why can't other states not fix it?
It also matters, I think, on a philosophical basis of who is the government working for, themselves and their timelines, or for the people who put them in office.
And I think that's the philosophy, just at least watching it happen in New York and California, it's the opposite of what you described.
There's no sense of urgency.
And there's almost a situation where people believe it's intractable, that they can't change it.
And so...
That's, I think, such an important point is that you actually made it happen.
