Blair.

Hi, Blair Beekman.

I wanted to quickly speak on item 8.2 on your agenda coming up next week.

A public hearing to uh uh to address a uh development tax and fee waiver in connection uh to construction costs for the item.

I wanted to comment uh on multifamily housing that you guys were talking about.

I think a lot of things last night uh at council about the future of housing in San Jose.

I've I took the position of uh council president Tordias that um you're trying to take a humble approach towards the towards the future of multifamily housing.

If you take a small approach to that and middle and the missing middle issues, a small humble approach uh can be effective.

And I I hope other people of San Jose realize that.

Uh a small approach can be uh really interesting for the future of San Jose.

Good luck on those sort of efforts.

Thank you.
