Thank you MADAM Assistant city attorney the public comment period is now open for all resolutions on today's agenda. Hello everyone .My name is roger jones and uh thank you all for giving me this opportunity to speak. Uh, I've been a property owner for the last 30 years in overtown area and when I first started being a landlord, uh, rent was about 180 to $220 for one bedroom apartments. And now they have ten times that and, uh, I have a couple of tenants that's been in my property for 25 years and um, they really can't afford really to stay there. They have social security that they receive and um, some of them have just regular jobs, you know, and I've been doing the best that I can to try to keep it affordable for the tenants in overtown. And uh, I just hope that you all consider giving me an opportunity to be able to continue to help those. Uh, it's an easy way out, but I chose not to take the easy way out and I want to thank the commissioner prado, the chair lady krista king and everyone also want to thank the executive director of the cra uh, jermaine and even trina and maybe some other people I hadn't I can't remember at the time but thank you all for considering an opportunity.
