that was the beginning of my discussions of what we have developed in the city, but city planning had the position paper and family housing. and the other thing that they took into consideration and took seriously was to build child care centers. it was something i got excited about and wanted to support the project then. i have to say, i got a little nervous in the last few days whether i really wanted to continue supporting this project because i found out the child care piece wasn't even in the term sheet. they were talking to me as if it were. i had a quick discussion with the giants organization, mr. blair, and he reassured me that no, no, no, we're going to keep to that commitment. so i'm glad in your presentation, in your earlier presentation, in terms of the public benefits, that under housing affordability, you have not only family sized units but on site child care. i want to make sure that they went furthers than that. i asked that we have documentation because this is a long-term project that child care will not only be considered but actually built. so i want to submit to
