Speaker 1: Whether it is l.
Speaker 2: Kelly and six.
Speaker 3: I'm a Lane Colate and I'm one hundred percent about us.
Speaker 3: I'm a builder, I'm a developer, I'm a designer, and
Speaker 3: I'm a visionary casinos, hospitals, luxury homes. I've handled over
Speaker 3: a billion dollars worth of real estate. If it can
Speaker 3: be built, I can figure out a way to do it.
Speaker 3: Growing up, my father was in the military. He was
Speaker 3: a fighter pilot. He flew F one hundreds and F
Speaker 3: one eleven's. My father was gone a lot and we traveled.
Speaker 3: But children that come from the military that move a
Speaker 3: lot are independent and really quick to make friends.
Speaker 4: I was able to figure it out being a woman
Speaker 4: that was in a man's world.
Speaker 3: My dad told me that the most important outpit that
Speaker 3: you could put on is confidence.
Speaker 5: Undercover Billionaire in Lane Colodia is a builder, interior designer,
Speaker 5: and the visionary behind standout projects like Santa Monica's iconic
Speaker 5: House of Rock. She also owned Big Z Ranch, a
Speaker 5: forty acre working farm supporting local agriculture and direct to
Speaker 5: consumer food distribution. While on the Discovery Plus series, Undercover
Speaker 5: Billionaire and Lane proved she could build from the ground
Speaker 5: up under extreme pressure now, after the devastating Palisades and
Speaker 5: Eating Canyon fires, she's leveraging decades of real world experience
Speaker 5: to cut through the noise, offering smart, actionable solutions and
Speaker 5: calling out leadership failures at every level. She joins us
Speaker 5: in the studio as part of our first YouTube simulcast,
Speaker 5: and Lane Claude's good see you.
Speaker 2: How are you deceivending?
Speaker 3: I'm oh, my gosh, I'm so excited to be a
Speaker 3: virgin guest on your show.
Speaker 2: Oh you had to put it in that way, and
Speaker 2: we're all.
Speaker 3: Hey, well, you know what, I'll take any virgin I
Speaker 3: can get.
Speaker 4: Let's be fair here. I mean, you know, I'm really
Speaker 4: glad you're doing this. So great to stream live.
Speaker 5: It's great to have you, and it provides a completely
Speaker 5: different i'll say, ethic and energy to it.
Speaker 2: It's nice to be able to see you.
Speaker 5: It's nice that everyone could see us had this interaction.
Speaker 5: You are very familiar, obviously with southern California. What was
Speaker 5: going through your mind as these fires were unfurling and growing.
Speaker 3: Well, first of all, I was at work and I
Speaker 3: was I looked over it. Tim had called and said, hey, listen,
Speaker 3: this this thing looks like it's growing really quickly. And
Speaker 3: when I saw it and I said, oh no, it's
Speaker 3: far away, and he goes, no on lane, it's not
Speaker 3: it's close and it's fast. And we didn't even get
Speaker 3: a chance to get get anything out. I got nothing out.
Speaker 3: I literally had to pick him up. He had the
Speaker 3: dogs hit it, go all the way around, and it
Speaker 3: was it was it, that was it.
Speaker 4: It was gone.
Speaker 3: It's done, it's all over. Whole thing's gone. Altadina's gone,
Speaker 3: Pasadena's gone. It's all that whole area gone. Palisades. People
Speaker 3: don't even talk about Malibu. Malibou is completely leveled, almost
Speaker 3: all the way to up. No boot you can't go
Speaker 3: to you can't get down there.
Speaker 5: When I'm quite sure you knew a lot of people
Speaker 5: who lost their house. I'm put sure you knew a
Speaker 5: lot of people who had to start over. What were
Speaker 5: you hearing from them?
Speaker 3: I think, first of all, I think everybody's in shock.
Speaker 3: Let's just let's just be realistic. And I really want
Speaker 3: to talk about the Palisades because I want to. I
Speaker 3: want to talk about Palisades as in terms of its power.
Speaker 4: It's a it's.
Speaker 3: Ground zero for sort of the blue Czech Democrat, you know,
Speaker 3: real California all in voter all this is, this is
Speaker 3: the government that they elected, that we elected, and these
Speaker 3: are the people that change who gets into government.
Speaker 4: This is these are the people that run California.
Speaker 3: In the Palisades, it's one of the most expensive neighborhoods
Speaker 3: in California. And when you talk about California, that's meaningful.
Speaker 3: And now they've all we're responsible for this. These are
Speaker 3: our managers of our money, our spatter, our fire to apartment.
Speaker 3: It's our choice that we made to be managed like this.
Speaker 3: And they are not potted plants. To understand they can
Speaker 3: really change things because these people are the people that
Speaker 3: change everything.
Speaker 4: Anyway.
Speaker 5: Let me ask you this, with different politicians, do we
Speaker 5: get a different result what we had?
Speaker 3: A different result from where you see. Yes, we absolutely result.
Speaker 3: Let me just say different management. Let's not call them politicians.
Speaker 3: I don't I think when you're running for office, you
Speaker 3: probably shouldn't be doing that. I mean you should be
Speaker 3: you should be elected into office. It shouldn't be something
Speaker 3: you pay for. And part of the problem I think is,
Speaker 3: you know, we've lost we've completely lost the whole you know,
Speaker 3: grassroots running for an office because you know, you live
Speaker 3: in the neighborhood, and you know your neighborhood, and you
Speaker 3: know your neighbors. It's gone away and it's being paid
Speaker 3: for by you know, citizens united in corporations, and you're
Speaker 3: and this is the result of that.
Speaker 4: The rubber has hit the road. The jig is up.
Speaker 4: The emperor has no close say whatever you want.
Speaker 3: It didn't work, the little speriment, the little democratic experiment,
Speaker 3: it did not work. This is a perfect example of
Speaker 3: it because now they got to work. They got to
Speaker 3: roll up their sleeves and really manage it. And they
Speaker 3: can't do it.
Speaker 5: Short of waiting for the next election, which is going
Speaker 5: to be in twenty twenty sixth in June and twenty
Speaker 5: twenty eight.
Speaker 2: What have you?
Speaker 5: What can Angelinos do now which could help change the
Speaker 5: trajectory for the next fire or the next calamity, the
Speaker 5: next disaster.
Speaker 4: Well, okay, first it's a big question.
Speaker 3: But first, the most I think active thing you can
Speaker 3: do is register read literally, change your your make your
Speaker 3: voice heard, and change yourself from a Democrat or a Republican.
Speaker 3: Go on a register and just change it to red
Speaker 3: because you will get the attention of absolutely everybody in Sacramento.
Speaker 5: I let me jump in there because you talk about
Speaker 5: something I talked about. But it's more than registration. I
Speaker 5: have been on the Republicans. You got to run somebody,
Speaker 5: and you have to run somebody credible. And I can
Speaker 5: tell you right now there is no one who is
Speaker 5: running for mayor of Los Angeles who is a Republican
Speaker 5: as of this moment.
Speaker 4: Well, Grick Cruso I think is a Republican.
Speaker 2: No he is, but no, no, no, but in mindset.
Speaker 5: But since he is a registered Democrat, the Democratic Party
Speaker 5: is not going to embrace him. And he and to
Speaker 5: the people who are not paying close attention, they're still
Speaker 5: going to see a D and not an R. Why
Speaker 5: is it the Republican Party is not putting forth a candidate.
Speaker 3: Well again, this is this is the reason that Rick
Speaker 3: Caruso ran as a Democrat is because he believed, like
Speaker 3: everybody believes, you can't win in California, only show a Democrat.
Speaker 3: The governor's race is kind of interesting because the governor's
Speaker 3: race is a runoff, so it's not run like a
Speaker 3: typical race where you have, like you know, basically two
Speaker 3: groups of Republicans or three. You have the Republicans, the Democrats,
Speaker 3: and the independents, and then everybody gets kind of their
Speaker 3: own like little primary, and then what's leftover gets to
Speaker 3: run against.
Speaker 4: It doesn't work like that.
Speaker 3: It's basically whoever gets the most votes against whoever got
Speaker 3: the second most votes. Those are the top two, and
Speaker 3: then they have a runoff a runoff election. It could
Speaker 3: be two Democrats. So there's plenty of time fun coming.
Speaker 2: Come up the jungle primary.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're coming up with.
Speaker 3: They're coming up with They're going to come up with
Speaker 3: really a couple of really good Republicans. There's there's going
Speaker 3: to come up with a couple of really good Democrats.
Speaker 3: Kamala Harris is probably going to run, and it concerns me,
Speaker 3: you know, if Rick Caruso does run, and he's got
Speaker 3: no chance if she runs, because it's just going to
Speaker 3: split it in two and some big Republican will win.
Speaker 4: And that's okay.
Speaker 3: I just want somebody that's got boots on the ground,
Speaker 3: that understands California is not about politics, but rather about resources.
Speaker 5: You mentioned resources before we go to this first break.
Speaker 5: How did resources play a role or didn't play a
Speaker 5: role in the preparation for the fires?
Speaker 2: Of the management of them. From where you sit, it.
Speaker 4: Depends on which one you want to talk about.
Speaker 3: But you know, thirty years ago we stopped cutting our
Speaker 3: trees and stop cutting our brush.
Speaker 4: I mean, it's a thirty year old problem.
Speaker 3: It's an environmental idea that you know, we want to
Speaker 3: save all these brush, you know, and not cut fire lanes.
Speaker 3: It's it's a respectable idea to be environmentally conscious, but
Speaker 3: not at the cost of the health and safety of
Speaker 3: the citizens that pay for that to happen. So it's
Speaker 3: just like it went too far, just went off the
Speaker 3: and decided. You know, they have multiple groups in California
Speaker 3: that stop you from building. They have these wildlife groups,
Speaker 3: they have open space rules, and the problem is there's
Speaker 3: no one to maintain those. So if you talk someone
Speaker 3: into literally talk someone into giving up space that you'll
Speaker 3: give them a permit and then say, you know, we'll
Speaker 3: maintain it, and then no one maintains it.
Speaker 4: This is what you have.
Speaker 3: You have houses that have debris in between them and
Speaker 3: it never nobody takes care of it. So those resources
Speaker 3: are thirty years old from just being not taken care
Speaker 3: of it. Then the water situation, I mean, water's a
Speaker 3: completely different problem because in the farming world, you know,
Speaker 3: we obviously need water. Just signs all up and down
Speaker 3: the ninety nine Freeway everywhere he goes is to Gavin
Speaker 3: Dear Gavin A, we are farmers stealing water, Like they
Speaker 3: want to know why they don't get water and the
Speaker 3: water system and the watershed they've had come up with
Speaker 3: all these ideas about storage, water storage, all this money's
Speaker 3: been poortant into it. There's no water storage. Where's the
Speaker 3: money go?
Speaker 4: Where's the money? Why?
Speaker 3: Why is it more important to make white wine? You're
Speaker 3: using Central Valley grapes anyway, I mean the Rombar Shardonnay
Speaker 3: and all the big chardonnays that make all the money
Speaker 3: up in the Northern California. They're only required to use
Speaker 3: I think twenty percent of their own grapes. It's ridiculous
Speaker 3: they get them all down for Central Valley.
Speaker 5: But the argument, I know, and I've heard the argument
Speaker 5: is like, hey, we had enough water for the fires,
Speaker 5: and the water which was released from the Central Valley
Speaker 5: by President Trump would not have impacted the fires.
Speaker 2: So where do you come out on that?
Speaker 5: How do you separate the water which would be used
Speaker 5: for the Central Valley versus the water which was available
Speaker 5: for the fires down here.
Speaker 3: If all our water's going in different directions other than
Speaker 3: the Central Valley and down to Los Angeles in San
Speaker 3: Diego County, if we're not getting any water, we're not
Speaker 3: getting we don't need storage. I mean, it doesn't matter
Speaker 3: if it just runs off. We have no storage and
Speaker 3: there's not enough money. There's not enough money apparently left
Speaker 3: to make storage for water. Water should be stored. It
Speaker 3: should be stored for when you have a fire. And
Speaker 3: so when they went to open up fire hydrants and
Speaker 3: they went to go use water, there's no water pressure
Speaker 3: because there's no water because there's nothing stored. They have
Speaker 3: reservoirs that are half full or not at all. They
Speaker 3: have reservoirs that have holes in their lids, which it's
Speaker 3: important that they're not dirty because the water it won't
Speaker 3: filter through. Point being is they're not maintained. All of
Speaker 3: our resources are not maintained. And it's not just water
Speaker 3: and are our forests. It's also our landfills. Our landfills
Speaker 3: are full. So what are we going to do with
Speaker 3: eleven million tons of debris that they're not even talking about?
Speaker 3: What are we going to do with a million, six
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty thousand trucks of debris. They're doing seven
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty a day, and that's only the Army Corps.
Speaker 3: It's going to take six years to clean up. I mean,
Speaker 3: it's ridiculous. And by the way, they're going to be full.
Speaker 3: So the resources that we need are not being managed.
Speaker 4: Nobody's even looking at it.
Speaker 3: And on top of it, we're not talking about what
Speaker 3: it really takes to clean it up because nobody understands
Speaker 3: that because the people that are running it are politicians.
Speaker 3: They're not construction people, they're not debris removal people. The
Speaker 3: Army Corps of Engineers is a contract company under ECC,
Speaker 3: which happens to be under the Federal Maytalk, which is
Speaker 3: the Biden May Talk. It's not even the Trump may Talk.
Speaker 3: I think it had one point one billion dollars in it.
Speaker 4: They deployed him.
Speaker 3: They're here, they're doing a great job, but it's not
Speaker 3: anywhere near enough. And then poor Christy No, she hit
Speaker 3: the ground running right, she's got her hands full. She's
Speaker 3: in charge of FEMA, so she's got to sit down
Speaker 3: and get her hands around what's going on here before
Speaker 3: we get more money federally, and because our resources are
Speaker 3: so mismanaged, Donald Trump doesn't want to just give us
Speaker 3: the money, which I don't blame him, because where is
Speaker 3: all the money, Where's the ula attax money, Where's the
Speaker 3: homeless money, Where's the forest money, Where's the water money,
Speaker 3: Where's the watershed money? So when you get down to it,
Speaker 3: we're not going to get federal aid. Gavin Newsom, in
Speaker 3: a simultaneous parallel lane, flew to Washington, DC to ask
Speaker 3: for forty billion dollars while he's teeing up his fifty million
Speaker 3: dollar fight against Donald Trump protection.
Speaker 2: I hate to stop there.
Speaker 5: We have to go to a commercial break, but I
Speaker 5: want to pick up there when we come back. How
Speaker 5: does the federal contingent impact this situation, not only right
Speaker 5: now but going forward. My guests on YouTube as well
Speaker 5: as iHeartRadio is a Colotti who is a builder, interior
Speaker 5: designer and visionary behind standout projects like Santa Monica's iconic
Speaker 5: House of Rock. You might have seen her on Undercover
Speaker 5: Billionaire recently, and we'll have more with Elaine Collotti in
Speaker 5: just a moment. It's later with mo Kelly Live everywhere
Speaker 5: in the Heart Radio app and on YouTube at mister
Speaker 5: mo Kelly m R M O K E L L Y.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
Speaker 1: HEFI AM six forty Later.
Speaker 5: With mo Kelly, we're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app
Speaker 5: and also on YouTube at mister mo Kelly. Yes a
Speaker 5: live video sumocast, and our first guest in studio is
Speaker 5: Elaine Colotti.
Speaker 2: We're talking about the fires prior to.
Speaker 5: During and also the way forward, the people who might
Speaker 5: be responsible, the things that we need, the resources we
Speaker 5: need going forward, and Elaine, before the break, we're getting
Speaker 5: ready to get into the money of it, all the
Speaker 5: money that has been spent, the money has yet to
Speaker 5: be spent, in what federal aid we may need going forward.
Speaker 2: What would you say in regard to that?
Speaker 4: Well, I think we have to be really so let's
Speaker 4: let's start with this.
Speaker 3: At the moment, we're talking about the people that have
Speaker 3: opted in or opted out. Yeah, and everybody's heard it,
Speaker 3: if anyone's involved it all in the fires, they've heard
Speaker 3: about opt in opt out, and opt in opt out
Speaker 3: has to do with whether or not you're asking FEMA
Speaker 3: to clean your lot.
Speaker 4: Okay, that's the only thing that's really going on.
Speaker 3: Six permits have been pulled since it happened, so there's
Speaker 3: the permit, and the rebuilding thing hasn't even started yet.
Speaker 4: This is just getting your lot cleaned up.
Speaker 3: And you know, you could imagine what it must be
Speaker 3: like to, you know, have a house standing there and
Speaker 3: nobody else around you has a house, and the lock
Speaker 3: cleaning is going really slowly, and maybe only three lots
Speaker 3: are cleaned in your neighborhood. And that's because the amount
Speaker 3: of people that have opted in is somewhere between thirty
Speaker 3: four hundred people and four thousand, you know, ish, it's
Speaker 3: not eighteen thousand. So and the reason that is is
Speaker 3: because first of all, California Fair Plan has only twenty
Speaker 3: five thousand dollars worth of debris insurance. And what you
Speaker 3: got to understand is, if you're going to do all
Speaker 3: the metrics on the news, if Karen bass is going
Speaker 3: to get on a report on how great things are going,
Speaker 3: she's only reporting on what she knows, and what she
Speaker 3: knows is what FEMA's doing.
Speaker 4: Because that's the only report she's getting.
Speaker 3: So if she says we're fifteen percent done, she's fifteen
Speaker 3: percent done of thirty four hundred and fifteen percent done
Speaker 3: of eighteen thousand.
Speaker 5: But most people don't understand in the station she's talking
Speaker 5: about La City, not La County. She's not talking about Altadena,
Speaker 5: and people I think missed.
Speaker 3: That she's not talking about She's talking about a fraction
Speaker 3: of the cleanup that's under contract with opt in.
Speaker 4: It's a fraction.
Speaker 3: And all the other contractors that are out there that
Speaker 3: want to clean and do stuff, they are completely hogtide.
Speaker 3: And the reason are hogtied is because there's this thing
Speaker 3: called haul route, which is how you get the stuff
Speaker 3: to the dump. The hall route is for ECC, FEMA,
Speaker 3: FEMA contractors and everybody that's removing dirt under the FEMA contracts.
Speaker 3: That's what they went and met with the Board of
Speaker 3: Supervisors about. They had a big win. They were able
Speaker 3: to get more trucks per day, not more trucks in
Speaker 3: there in the long run, more more yargage going into
Speaker 3: the dump, just more trucks per day. So we've got
Speaker 3: a huge problem with the debris and the debris removal
Speaker 3: because there's just not enough hands on deck and the
Speaker 3: only way to get that out is femal money or
Speaker 3: government federal money. Because La is broke, and we're broke
Speaker 3: because we mismanaged our money. We didn't just mismanage our forests,
Speaker 3: and we didn't just mismanage our water. We mismanaged all
Speaker 3: our money. We had a billion dollars surplus.
Speaker 4: We have no money. We're in the hole.
Speaker 3: When Gavin leaves or whoever takes over, has got this
Speaker 3: massive deficit that they've got to fill. And then on
Speaker 3: top of it, they they passed ula tax, which they
Speaker 3: call a mansion tax. It doesn't tax mansions. It taxes
Speaker 3: anybody transacting real estate over five million dollars, hospitals, low
Speaker 3: income lots. Let me tell you, you have a burned
Speaker 3: out lot worth more than five million dollars, you're paying
Speaker 3: mansion tax. Does that seem right to you? That's circumventing
Speaker 3: Proposition thirteen.
Speaker 5: You have to educate folks may not be old enough
Speaker 5: to remember Proposition thirteen.
Speaker 2: And it's impact on property tax.
Speaker 3: Is Go ahead, well, everybody here, if you own property
Speaker 3: in California, it is our Wall Street. Okay, so your
Speaker 3: real estate and your equity is your stock investment.
Speaker 4: It is the Gold Coast. That's why they call it.
Speaker 4: That is the best real estate in the world.
Speaker 3: We have the best temperatures, we have the most resources,
Speaker 3: We have the most beautiful land in the world, and
Speaker 3: they are trying.
Speaker 4: To get it from you. Why wake up?
Speaker 3: The Proposition thirteen freezes your tax basis at like it's
Speaker 3: one percent is one point two five percent. That's your
Speaker 3: transfer tax when you sell that property, and you can
Speaker 3: take it with you one time when you're older and
Speaker 3: you retire, when you buy another.
Speaker 4: Piece of property. It protects your investment.
Speaker 3: And they've been trying to get at it since nineteen
Speaker 3: seventy ninety nineteen seventy nine. They've been trying to figure
Speaker 3: out a way around it, and they got all these
Speaker 3: ideas about how to do it, and they finally did
Speaker 3: it when they penetrated this mansion tax thing. And they
Speaker 3: called it mansion tax, which is unfair because it's not
Speaker 3: a mansion tax. It's a straight it's a transactional tax.
Speaker 3: It's a levee, which is illegal. It's a legal to
Speaker 3: tax real estate under a levee. It's gonna lose ultimately,
Speaker 3: but not soon enough. And meanwhile, it froze our market
Speaker 3: and not just La City, it froze everything because when
Speaker 3: you stop the Titanic, it takes a minute to get
Speaker 3: it going again. And at the end of the day,
Speaker 3: mansion tax ruined the Los Angeles, California real estate market.
Speaker 3: Which ruined the real estate market here in California. It
Speaker 3: brought it to its knees.
Speaker 5: We had a conversation off air that I wanted you
Speaker 5: to circle back to. You were talking about Mayor Karen
Speaker 5: Bass and what we as those who are Angelino's and
Speaker 5: those who may be on the periphery of Los Angeles,
Speaker 5: what we should we think of her, what we should
Speaker 5: do in this moment.
Speaker 4: Well, okay, a couple of things.
Speaker 3: I mean, obviously, when she got off the plane and
Speaker 3: she was in the airport and she was, you know,
Speaker 3: the reporter came up to her, she was like a
Speaker 3: deer in the headlights. And I didn't It didn't give
Speaker 3: me a warm, fuzzy feeling that she's going to be
Speaker 3: a good leader. Okay, there's lack of leadership, but.
Speaker 4: The recalling hers is challenging.
Speaker 3: First of all, a lot of people don't understand if
Speaker 3: she is recalled, city council chooses her replacement until there's
Speaker 3: an actual runoff. Most people don't understand that. So it's
Speaker 3: you know, I think Nicole Shanahan. God bless her. She
Speaker 3: put in one point six million dollars ever recalled. You know,
Speaker 3: but it's a twenty five million dollar proposition. It's ten
Speaker 3: months down the road, and we need help now. And
Speaker 3: I think what would be far more prudent and productive
Speaker 3: is to help Karen because she's she's not a dumb person,
Speaker 3: and she has a lot of power.
Speaker 4: She has the power of the emergency pen. She needs help.
Speaker 4: She's legitimate.
Speaker 3: Like you know what I always say, ask for help,
Speaker 3: Ask for help. She tried to go with Steve sober Off.
Speaker 3: That's not where she where she needs to be. She's
Speaker 3: to pick a skill set. Like I personally would love
Speaker 3: to sit down with her and talk to her about
Speaker 3: the building department and how I can make a custom
Speaker 3: program for immediate deployment of building permits for any permits
Speaker 3: that are less than.
Speaker 4: Ten years old. Why are we just package it up
Speaker 4: and hand it out.
Speaker 3: Because the minute that you get those people invested, they
Speaker 3: keep their entitlements, it increases the value of their property,
Speaker 3: It encourages them, they're going to be able to build.
Speaker 3: What you don't want to have happen is a sell off.
Speaker 3: That is, it's never going to get done because those
Speaker 3: entitlements will be lost forever. What we have to do
Speaker 3: is we have to encourage people to sell and we
Speaker 3: cannot be charging them for permits. There's gonna be plenty
Speaker 3: of business for California. It's going to bring in lots
Speaker 3: of new jobs. They're going to have to figure out
Speaker 3: some sort of a lay down area and staging area
Speaker 3: in Palisades for all the new building materials and equipment.
Speaker 3: And think of all the contractors are going to go
Speaker 3: to work all the PPP money that's going to come in.
Speaker 3: But you've got to give people permits. And Karen needs help.
Speaker 3: She needs to understand that there are a lot of
Speaker 3: states that structure this with outside consultants instead of trying
Speaker 3: to do it in the building department. Yes, they're going
Speaker 3: to relieve coastal commission, but are they going to leave
Speaker 3: it completely or just one of them because anything in
Speaker 3: Palisades is double coastal. Yes, they're going to relieve SEQUA.
Speaker 3: Well what does that really mean? Are they're just going
Speaker 3: to give you a sequel waiver? And what if you've
Speaker 3: never had SEQUA? So I want to sit down with
Speaker 3: her and say what does it mean? Let me help
Speaker 3: you package it and let's create these fast track passes
Speaker 3: that take the burden out of the building department because
Speaker 3: they don't have the resources either. They're buried coastal commissions
Speaker 3: like twelve people that meet once a month that control
Speaker 3: the entire coast.
Speaker 4: I mean, think about that, Elaine.
Speaker 5: I wish I could talk to you all night, but
Speaker 5: I'm running out of time so very quickly. I know
Speaker 5: that this is a conversation which is going to continue.
Speaker 5: But also they are going to be other people who
Speaker 5: are going to be joining you on this journey. How
Speaker 5: can people reach you and also join you. Well, one
Speaker 5: thing that would.
Speaker 3: Be very helpful is to follow me on Instagram on
Speaker 3: Lipstick Farmer. That would be awesome because on Lipstick Farmer,
Speaker 3: I'm not much of a.
Speaker 4: Social media person. I'm gonna have to get better at that,
Speaker 4: I'm sorry.
Speaker 3: But on Lipstick Farmer, I do check it and I
