We're also replacing a lot of old infrastructure.
But again, I want every single person to know that if we removed a single mid-sized data center from this city, we could double the population of this city without requiring a single megawatt of additional power.
Like I want people to keep that number in mind.
This is a big thing.
And the fact that we keep increasing our rates while we are making more and more money on SVP, that's simply to put things in the general fund.
And right now, this is problematic because all of our money
We've got a $1.7 billion city.
We take out SVP, and we'll give them a lion's portion of the budget.
That's still a $1 billion budget, which is multiple times that of neighboring cities, multiple times that of neighboring cities that are larger than the city of Santa Clara.
And while they're putting in place new city halls and new civic centers and putting in place downtowns,
and the main streets and revitalizing the retail areas that we have.
We are losing infrastructure in this city.
We've lost the International Swim Center.
We've lost Great America.
We are in the process of losing Great America and there's no way to get something like that back.
We've got a convention center that needs lots of work because of neglect in the last 40 years.
Same thing with the Triton Museum.
At some point, you know, when I look at the streets, I can tell you when I cross over into Sunnyvale or I cross over even into San Jose because the road becomes smoother.
At some point, we need to look at why we are expanding the electric utility
and charging the residents more for services that the residents don't actually need.
