00:00:00.024 --> 00:00:01.664
People would come in and testify and say,

00:00:01.664 --> 00:00:03.627
"Oh, their property values would go down,

00:00:03.627 --> 00:00:05.864
their children and their women would be

00:00:05.864 --> 00:00:09.903
at risk." And fortunately I had enough

00:00:09.903 --> 00:00:12.245
information, and this is the part where

00:00:12.245 --> 00:00:15.507
I probably went over the bounds of just

00:00:15.507 --> 00:00:18.383
neutrality, because I had experience in

00:00:18.383 --> 00:00:20.340
this field and the knowledge of people with

00:00:20.340 --> 00:00:24.079
disabilities. And we would also have

00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:27.808
mustered people who could testify,

00:00:27.808 --> 00:00:30.578
other neighbors who could testify about

00:00:30.578 --> 00:00:32.255
the fact that nothing had happened in their

00:00:32.255 --> 00:00:33.714
neighborhood. When a home went in and the

00:00:33.714 --> 00:00:35.993
more development there was, the more

00:00:35.993 --> 00:00:38.500
proponents for this type

00:00:38.500 --> 00:00:42.302
of housing we could have testify.

00:00:42.302 --> 00:00:45.171
So that was very helpful.
