From the transcript

Uh, okay, that's not up for debate here. We don't, we don't put any weight on that. What we're here to learn about is your opinion of the reason that we took photos that are in the packet is so that you could see that, uh, 502 Ash is a house, it's not a cabin, and that you could see that there are two other on the same street. There's a vacant house and there's a burnt-out house, and, and, and that needs more attention from the city in terms of rejuvenation. And, uh, the issue that, uh, you know, this would be a precedent for other Airbnbs on our street if, uh, you know, investor buyers buy those properties instead of families.
