The leadership of L.A.

should be the loudest advocate for the kind of tax credit system that other states are putting into place.

And

actually getting production moving there, like in New Jersey.

We should be advocating for that same system here.

Okay, Sacramento may not listen, but the leadership of Los Angeles should be fighting as hard as they can to make sure that that tax credit system is put into place.

I would also say that, you know, I think we need to be really engaging with studios.

We need to be engaging with companies that are headquartered here and saying to them, what do we need to do to make sure that you're shooting here?

What do we need to do to make sure that we are having production stay here?

How can we make sure that this industry, which is so central to Los Angeles, so central to Los Angeles, stays in Los Angeles?

How can we make sure that the incredible talent that we have across the city can work here, a place that they moved to, to build their dreams, to work in the film industry?

I think that's the kind of engagement that I want to see.

I haven't been seeing that kind of engagement happening.

That's what I would want to do if I were mayor.

Oh, I don't know if I can.

I would love to figure out why it's closed for so long.

Yeah.

Let's go talk to that property owner.

Yeah.

All right.
