From the transcript
Assemblyperson Gamble. Thank you, Madam Mayor. I, I know that you think that these lots are large, but they used to be a lot larger. Speaking as one person that's been out there standing there watching the bank just slough off into the river at an incredible pace, this should have been done a long time ago, and it is absolutely a no-brainer. Thank you.
