Now, they did just complete phase one. We have a very small punch list of things to follow up on. Phase one trees are being replanted, watered, and ta maintained. I dont see it as an issue for you. Vice president honda i see more of a damage issue, accept considering the environment, and so who follows up on making sure that, you know, once a tree is snapped or broken as you said, a 48box versus a smaller tree, the smaller tree generally catches up, but the 48 box is definitely a nice boost from the builder. Thank you. Youre youre you have a very open position. You should apply, but i forgot to say, the 48inch box is a much larger tree, and its less prone to vandalism. It does help reduce vandalism.

So what i see the role of the city is and i want to take my at off to maria sue and her staff and the mayor who stepped up and are trying to play a useful role in in the in one area of where families need help. And it is the area that is most complicated because how to provide safe child care so that theres an adult, you know, helping the teachers to teach

Because they cannot be done virtual. That will be part of the guidance. And its such a big piece of the other thing and that the other thing that gets lost in inperson classes is there are classes that will not be taught in the fall semester or potentially the Spring Semester that have a negative impact on Mental Health in San Francisco.
