From the transcript

Next one then is to, if we're moving housing, that's, so a few years ago, housing, the Homelessness Committee did add the word housing with the, I think, good intent to talk about housing, affordable housing, other issues there. But I think the experience has been one, that there's too many things to talk about related to housing broadly, and also that a lot of the discussion about housing is really about code changes about construction and production. And so that's the proposal there. So, and then we know our committees can get very long. So the proposal there is to say Housing and Community Development, not because economic development isn't important, but because again, we have to think about our committee names.
