That means it began when Andrew Cuomo was the governor. And what did he do? What did he do about it? He did not do anything. He [Andrew Cuomo] spent more money on a singing water fountain at LaGuardia Airport than he did on the average cost of an affordable housing unit. That is the record that we have in display. And what we need is a change in the city, not more of the same. Yeah, but if I may, if I. (05:42–17:53)
