That is an extension of the changes we made after the Robert Moses era and that we overdid.

I think we want to re-empower people who go into public service to be able to make those sorts of changes.

And you'll get different kinds of people who go into service

That way.

We're going to make mistakes.

Government is going to make mistakes.

It's going to be controversial.

People are not going to like it in all cases.

But I think that there's so many things that we need to do and that only government can do.

But I think it's a very hopeful moment for all that we're all sort of aghast at what's happening in Washington right now.

The level of potential is really remarkable.

I mean, yes, and I've heard that several, you know, people saying, you know, in order to plan a new subway line, we need to study the alternatives.

How many do we really need to study?

Like, we know in the end that we're not going to dig up this particular street.

We're not going to go, you know, we're not going to dig up downtown, right?

right so so like i understand that that is a theoretically a possibility but we're not going to spend a hundred thousand dollars doing in six months looking at you know which streets in which order we would dig up to do that possibility we're just going to set it aside and we're actually only going to study these three alternatives right like like that was something that someone maybe would sue saying well you didn't look at all the alternatives but

We could expedite that, right?

Like there's an example of where a bureaucrat could tell a lawyer to F off, right?

Maybe there's a mild example of where something like that, yeah, I think probably could work and we don't do it.

I'm going to say yes.
