Later in that document, where you show, and I'll show you what I'm looking at, the two biggest areas of contributing to our emissions, 63% on-road transportation, 31% emissions. And under that on-road transportation, objective T5 talks about smart growth. We might have had some conversation about that or lack thereof earlier this evening. But in particular it talks about mixed use development. Now if that's the priority and if that's what we need to do to address 63% of our community's emissions to get down that big…”

“I ACCEPT THAT AND I REMEMBER USING THAT TERM ENCOURAGING IN A DIFFERENT CONTEXT ONCE.
