“Thank you. Appreciate you taking the time to come out and ask questions and to sit through a council meeting. So it means a lot. Anyone else? Anyone online? All right, I'm going to go ahead and close the public comment of this hearing and bring it back to the council and say I thank you for making this clear. I'd like to see in the future maybe a presentation to the council, maybe the same way we had a presentation from SEA.

“And I think that's sometimes hard to understand. What does it mean? And I think there was another piece of the question, is it affordable for developers? It's really the affordability for the individuals who are applying to occupy one of these locations, but it's a good question because that's the important part is it's harder and harder for individuals to afford, especially as rents. can be challenged and also the affordability isn't always about what is the cost to build it. It's what is going to be paid by the tenants. So thank you for the question. Council Member Wyeth?”
