00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:22.239
<v Speaker 1>on the ballot.

27
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:26.319
<v Speaker 4>It was a combination of a lot of different things

28
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:28.480
<v Speaker 4>that brought it all together at the last minute.

29
00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:30.200
<v Speaker 1>You have a lot of people out there on the

30
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:31.760
<v Speaker 1>streets working for you, I hope.

31
00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:35.840
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. So we had We had many individuals that were

32
00:01:35.879 --> 00:01:38.719
<v Speaker 4>just very excited about what we were doing. They were

33
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:41.719
<v Speaker 4>going door to door, we were going to communities, families.

34
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:44.840
<v Speaker 4>When it came down to it the last night, we

35
00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:47.719
<v Speaker 4>were driving around till midnight gathering whatever we could.

36
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:50.439
<v Speaker 1>Well and again they've already certified. You have on kind

37
00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:52.879
<v Speaker 1>of board of Elections to certified the signatures for you.

38
00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:58.079
<v Speaker 1>And when you're out and about gathering signatures to get

39
00:01:58.120 --> 00:02:00.239
<v Speaker 1>on the ballot, and you're gonna have to continue to this.

40
00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:02.239
<v Speaker 1>On the campaign trail, people are going to ask you

41
00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:05.239
<v Speaker 1>questions about what you stand for, what your goals, your motivations,

42
00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:07.159
<v Speaker 1>and your ideas are for the city. So did you

43
00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:08.439
<v Speaker 1>hear a lot of or did you get a lot

44
00:02:08.439 --> 00:02:11.120
<v Speaker 1>of questions along those lines when you're around circulating position?

45
00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:15.360
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, And honestly, I I'd made a lot of those

46
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:18.120
<v Speaker 4>questions myself to the people a lot of times when

47
00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:21.039
<v Speaker 4>we weren't just you know, paying somebody to get the

48
00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:23.639
<v Speaker 4>signatures on our behalf. We were actually going out to

49
00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:27.960
<v Speaker 4>our future voters. And so most of the people that

50
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:30.199
<v Speaker 4>we if we had the time to we would ask

51
00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:32.120
<v Speaker 4>them what are the issues that are important to you?

52
00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:34.000
<v Speaker 4>And then we would have really great discussions.

53
00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:36.080
<v Speaker 1>What are you hearing from folks? What are the issues

54
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:38.039
<v Speaker 1>that are most important to them?

55
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:41.240
<v Speaker 4>I mean, for the most part, if you're downtown, they

56
00:02:41.319 --> 00:02:42.800
<v Speaker 4>just say, fix the damn potholes.

57
00:02:45.319 --> 00:02:46.039
<v Speaker 2>My god.

58
00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:48.479
<v Speaker 1>One of my favorite pet peeves about the city of

59
00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:52.960
<v Speaker 1>Cincinnati is just the absolute deteriorating, deteriorating nature of the infrastructure.

60
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:55.960
<v Speaker 1>You know, Corey, what they're like four hundred and fifty

61
00:02:56.039 --> 00:02:59.400
<v Speaker 1>million dollars worth of projects behind. They're supposed to do

62
00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:01.800
<v Speaker 1>X number of road miles a year and repairs, They

63
00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:04.199
<v Speaker 1>have the money allocated for it, and for some reason

64
00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:06.599
<v Speaker 1>or other, it never gets done. I mean that's that

65
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:09.520
<v Speaker 1>that should be a motivating factor to run for mayor

66
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:10.560
<v Speaker 1>in and of itself.

67
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:15.759
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, can you imagine from day one of being elected

68
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:19.199
<v Speaker 4>that that's the first thing that we actually do that

69
00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:20.400
<v Speaker 4>we said that we were going.

70
00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:25.919
<v Speaker 2>To do, just kind of like Donald Trump, Ye get

71
00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:26.879
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people.

72
00:03:26.960 --> 00:03:29.639
<v Speaker 4>It's you know, we live in a city. There is

73
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:33.400
<v Speaker 4>certain key issues that pertain to the residents of our city,

74
00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:36.039
<v Speaker 4>and so yeah, there's a lot of issues that face

75
00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:37.919
<v Speaker 4>the country as a whole, and there's a lot of

76
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:41.159
<v Speaker 4>broad statements that we could make, but ultimately there's real

77
00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:43.879
<v Speaker 4>issues that people care about. And you know, if you

78
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:46.080
<v Speaker 4>drive over a pothole, it doesn't matter whether you're a

79
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:48.319
<v Speaker 4>Democrat or Republican. You're tired getting.

80
00:03:48.039 --> 00:03:51.400
<v Speaker 1>Flat exactly right, and supposed notably, those neighborhoods that seem

81
00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:55.240
<v Speaker 1>to be overlooked, you know, for decades, it's as if

82
00:03:55.280 --> 00:03:59.439
<v Speaker 1>they don't exist. And I don't know how in that situation,

83
00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:03.240
<v Speaker 1>someonel continue to vote for the same party that hasn't

84
00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:06.039
<v Speaker 1>served their interests for however many years we've been going

85
00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:09.919
<v Speaker 1>on with this problem. So maybe you stand a chance.

86
00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:13.879
<v Speaker 1>Did you get a sense of you there's a possibility

87
00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:15.919
<v Speaker 1>for you because you know, it is the city of Cincinnati.

88
00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:19.199
<v Speaker 1>You're not running as a Democrat, Corey, And I just

89
00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:23.120
<v Speaker 1>wonder what your enthusiasm level is after going out and

90
00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:25.000
<v Speaker 1>about meeting with folks out in the communities.

91
00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:30.560
<v Speaker 4>My enthusiasm level probably was improved every day that I

92
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:33.720
<v Speaker 4>spoke to people. I'll be honest. I mean I had

93
00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:36.879
<v Speaker 4>no clue whether this was the right decision or not

94
00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:38.720
<v Speaker 4>when we first made We just knew it it had

95
00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:41.399
<v Speaker 4>to be done. And every morning I would wake up,

96
00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:43.720
<v Speaker 4>I'll just say, you know, what are you doing, Corey?

97
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:46.399
<v Speaker 4>Why are you making this run? And every night I

98
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:50.040
<v Speaker 4>would go to bed more encouraged than not because of

99
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:53.759
<v Speaker 4>the conversations I had. People are very excited about what

100
00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:56.759
<v Speaker 4>we stand for, They're very hungry for change in the city.

101
00:04:57.279 --> 00:04:59.560
<v Speaker 4>And yes, it's going to be an uphill battle the

102
00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:02.879
<v Speaker 4>next da months, but every conversation I had just gave

103
00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:05.519
<v Speaker 4>me that extra energy that I needed to keep.

104
00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:06.399
<v Speaker 2>On going well.

105
00:05:06.519 --> 00:05:09.319
<v Speaker 1>And I know your jd Vance's half brother, and that

106
00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:11.560
<v Speaker 1>propelled you sort of the national stage. I mean, there

107
00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:14.480
<v Speaker 1>was a lot of reporting on major media outlets that

108
00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:17.000
<v Speaker 1>you were, in fact or you are in fact running

109
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:20.040
<v Speaker 1>for the mayri City of Cincinnati. Do you feel as

110
00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:21.600
<v Speaker 1>if it's a I mean, it's a benefit for me

111
00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:24.480
<v Speaker 1>from a publicity standpoint, but you somehow feel maybe you're

112
00:05:24.519 --> 00:05:27.160
<v Speaker 1>in the shadow of your vice presidential half brother.

113
00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:32.240
<v Speaker 4>Well, like I said in my post whenever I announced it,

114
00:05:32.600 --> 00:05:35.079
<v Speaker 4>that you know, he's a great role model of mine.

115
00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:38.439
<v Speaker 4>And when I saw the enthusiasm and the hope and

116
00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:43.560
<v Speaker 4>the change behind you know, the inauguration weekend, that's what

117
00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:47.120
<v Speaker 4>inspired me because our hometown can't fall behind these next

118
00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:50.560
<v Speaker 4>four years. So we're gonna We're gonna work very hard

119
00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:52.920
<v Speaker 4>the next eight months to go into every district, talk

120
00:05:52.959 --> 00:05:55.680
<v Speaker 4>to every community. We're going to get the right endorsements,

121
00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:58.120
<v Speaker 4>We're going to get the right groups behind us. But

122
00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:01.720
<v Speaker 4>then also I think one of the biggest motivators for

123
00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:03.480
<v Speaker 4>people to vote for us is going to be this

124
00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:06.120
<v Speaker 4>upcoming year with the current administration.

125
00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:10.399
<v Speaker 1>Well, certainly a lot of talking points and different ideas

126
00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:13.199
<v Speaker 1>are welcomed by a lot of folks across political stripes.

127
00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:14.439
<v Speaker 1>One of the things I want to ask you when

128
00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:17.600
<v Speaker 1>we come back, Corey, is about this Connected Communities program,

129
00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:20.160
<v Speaker 1>because a lot of folks are rebelling against it, and

130
00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:22.480
<v Speaker 1>it's a program that was pretty much shoved down every

131
00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:26.000
<v Speaker 1>single neighborhood in the city's throat without their input. Let's

132
00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:28.839
<v Speaker 1>bring Corey Bowman back. He is running for mayor the

133
00:06:28.839 --> 00:06:31.920
<v Speaker 1>city of Cincinnati, and we'll try to be remain optimistic

134
00:06:31.959 --> 00:06:32.240
<v Speaker 1>for him.

135
00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:32.800
<v Speaker 2>In the meantime.

136
00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:36.120
<v Speaker 1>I want to mention affordable imaging services because your hospital

137
00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:38.639
<v Speaker 1>imaging departments just is outrageous in terms of what it

138
00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:42.600
<v Speaker 1>charges for any kind of given image, echo cardiograms, MRI,

139
00:06:42.839 --> 00:06:46.560
<v Speaker 1>ct scans, ultrasounds, affordable imaging services. You have a choice

140
00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:48.519
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to your medical care. So why would

141
00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:51.720
<v Speaker 1>you pay thirty five hundred dollars at the hospital when

142
00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:54.399
<v Speaker 1>you can get an echo cardiogram at affordable imaging services

143
00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:57.759
<v Speaker 1>for a mere five hundred dollars Not that that's not money,

144
00:06:57.800 --> 00:07:00.920
<v Speaker 1>but a mere compared to thirty five hundred. If you

145
00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:03.279
<v Speaker 1>need an enhancement, it's only eight hundred. And that enhancement,

146
00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:05.120
<v Speaker 1>of course, will cost you more. At the imaging department

147
00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:08.079
<v Speaker 1>at the hospital. You'll probably pay separate for the board

148
00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:12.560
<v Speaker 1>certified radiologists to read the image. You get that included

149
00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:15.720
<v Speaker 1>in the low price. So five hundred dollars including the

150
00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:19.199
<v Speaker 1>radiologist report. I like that a lot more, especially given

151
00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:20.879
<v Speaker 1>it's a new calendar year, and you got a huge

152

185
00:09:04.639 --> 00:09:07.399
<v Speaker 1>who is officially a candidate for the mayor of the

186
00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:10.080
<v Speaker 1>City of Cincinnati. Got all the signatures been certified, and

187
00:09:10.120 --> 00:09:11.799
<v Speaker 1>he's going to hit the ground running. You'll see him

188
00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:15.000
<v Speaker 1>in neighborhoods. You're planning on having town halls and things

189
00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:17.759
<v Speaker 1>of that nature. Corey, You're willing to actually meet and

190
00:09:17.840 --> 00:09:19.519
<v Speaker 1>talk with the people. I kind of got that impression

191
00:09:19.559 --> 00:09:20.399
<v Speaker 1>in the last segment.

192
00:09:21.960 --> 00:09:23.879
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I think that's got to be a key thing

193
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:27.559
<v Speaker 4>with this campaign. We're definitely going to be doing live

194
00:09:27.720 --> 00:09:31.519
<v Speaker 4>q ands on livestream, most likely every week. I'm trying

195
00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:34.000
<v Speaker 4>to about what the best day is for it, but

196
00:09:34.039 --> 00:09:36.399
<v Speaker 4>then every week we're going to have to hit different

197
00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:40.759
<v Speaker 4>areas in different districts. My goal would be to find

198
00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:43.600
<v Speaker 4>the local key businesses in the area. You know, we

199
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:45.759
<v Speaker 4>had our first one of our first meetings in our

200
00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:50.000
<v Speaker 4>downtown coffee shop and it was a great response. You know,

201
00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:53.799
<v Speaker 4>we had a meeting in price Field Chili. So what

202
00:09:53.879 --> 00:09:57.000
<v Speaker 4>I want to do is just find these key businesses

203
00:09:57.039 --> 00:10:00.399
<v Speaker 4>in these districts with the business owners that are hurting

204
00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:02.679
<v Speaker 4>and really just have these events there and hear.

205
00:10:02.559 --> 00:10:05.519
<v Speaker 1>From people wonderful and by way of background, and I

206
00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:07.879
<v Speaker 1>think it's important for our listeners to know you Uh,

207
00:10:08.559 --> 00:10:10.919
<v Speaker 1>you own the King's Arms Coffee Roasters, which we've been

208
00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:13.039
<v Speaker 1>mentioned a couple of times. You're also a pastor at

209
00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:17.600
<v Speaker 1>the River Church in Cincinnati. I suppose being a pastor

210
00:10:17.639 --> 00:10:20.120
<v Speaker 1>you have to regularly communicate with parishioners and spread the

211
00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:24.159
<v Speaker 1>message and relate and connect to people. Does that is

212
00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:27.559
<v Speaker 1>that a is that that served you well in your

213
00:10:27.639 --> 00:10:28.600
<v Speaker 1>efforts thus far?

214
00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:33.279
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I joked around because one of the biggest things

215
00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:39.279
<v Speaker 4>that helped me in politics unexpectedly was ministry. And partly

216
00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:41.799
<v Speaker 4>because you deal with people and you're dealing with people's

217
00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:44.360
<v Speaker 4>opinions and you're talking with people, also because you care

218
00:10:44.440 --> 00:10:48.840
<v Speaker 4>for people. But then another is because ministry they'll cut

219
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:51.879
<v Speaker 4>your throat at any point in time, and so that's

220
00:10:51.879 --> 00:10:54.000
<v Speaker 4>something that I'm learning about politics as well.

221
00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:57.080
<v Speaker 1>Fair enough, Now moving over to one of the more

222
00:10:57.120 --> 00:11:00.159
<v Speaker 1>interesting and I think problematic issues for the same the

223
00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:03.679
<v Speaker 1>Cincinnati residents is this connected Communities thing that city Council

224
00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:06.679
<v Speaker 1>passed really without any input from the various neighborhoods within

225
00:11:06.720 --> 00:11:10.519
<v Speaker 1>the city of Cincinnati, requiring you know, changing in zoning

226
00:11:10.720 --> 00:11:15.360
<v Speaker 1>and dense population in other words, knocking down single family

227
00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:19.600
<v Speaker 1>homes and putting up higher volume apartments, many of which

228
00:11:19.639 --> 00:11:22.039
<v Speaker 1>will not have any parking. I know neighborhoods like Hyde

229
00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:24.919
<v Speaker 1>Park are worried about impacting the community where these people

230
00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:27.759
<v Speaker 1>are going to park, but it's all design to get

231
00:11:27.799 --> 00:11:32.720
<v Speaker 1>people on buses, and I think it's really an affront

232
00:11:32.759 --> 00:11:35.360
<v Speaker 1>to the single family property owner to know that, you know,

233
00:11:35.559 --> 00:11:38.519
<v Speaker 1>how next door neighbor could have sellar house and next

234
00:11:38.519 --> 00:11:40.240
<v Speaker 1>thing you know, you're living in next to a ten

235
00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:45.000
<v Speaker 1>twelve unit CONDOMENTI or rather apartment complex. Where are you

236
00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:46.279
<v Speaker 1>on connected Communities?

237
00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:51.519
<v Speaker 4>Corey, Well, when I first heard about these issues, you know,

238
00:11:51.559 --> 00:11:54.159
<v Speaker 4>I decided we have to hear people's opinions, we have

239
00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:56.240
<v Speaker 4>to research. So one of the first things that we

240
00:11:56.320 --> 00:11:58.799
<v Speaker 4>did over the course of find these signatures was we

241
00:11:58.919 --> 00:12:02.919
<v Speaker 4>went to a hall meeting that was in bond Hill

242
00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:07.720
<v Speaker 4>area related to this Connected communities and Sky Johnson, Counselan

243
00:12:08.279 --> 00:12:12.399
<v Speaker 4>Sky Johnson and Vice Mayor Kearney were there and as

244
00:12:12.440 --> 00:12:16.039
<v Speaker 4>we were there, I give it up for the councilmen mayor.

245
00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:18.840
<v Speaker 4>They were kind of, you know, doing some crowd control

246
00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:21.879
<v Speaker 4>with the very disgruntled people in the room. But a

247
00:12:21.919 --> 00:12:24.320
<v Speaker 4>lot of people showed up and you could tell that

248
00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:27.759
<v Speaker 4>they're very frustrated with how this has been brought to

249
00:12:27.840 --> 00:12:31.399
<v Speaker 4>the city. And so I was going through asking people

250
00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:34.120
<v Speaker 4>questions and I think the biggest thing is that if

251
00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:37.200
<v Speaker 4>you take the cover sheet on top of these connected

252
00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:41.039
<v Speaker 4>community policies that most likely were written by chat GBT,

253
00:12:41.559 --> 00:12:43.799
<v Speaker 4>you would sit there and say, yeah, we kind of

254
00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:47.799
<v Speaker 4>like bringing communities together, but yeah, we look like helpless

255
00:12:47.919 --> 00:12:51.080
<v Speaker 4>in need. We like bringing business. But it's what they're

256
00:12:51.080 --> 00:12:54.399
<v Speaker 4>trying to kind of sneak in through these policies, and

257
00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:57.000
<v Speaker 4>what they're really trying to sneak in through this is

258
00:12:57.039 --> 00:13:00.879
<v Speaker 4>exactly what you're talking about. It's, you know, prop improperly

259
00:13:00.919 --> 00:13:06.399
<v Speaker 4>managed affordable housing policies. You're bringing in big time developers

260
00:13:06.440 --> 00:13:09.480
<v Speaker 4>instead of small time businesses that actually want to enhance

261
00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:12.919
<v Speaker 4>the properties and want to utilize the historic buildings that

262
00:13:12.960 --> 00:13:16.080
<v Speaker 4>are there. And then you're exactly right. They're trying to

263
00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:18.480
<v Speaker 4>get it to a point to where people have to

264
00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:21.279
<v Speaker 4>take the bus, they have to be in a multi

265
00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:24.039
<v Speaker 4>level apartment, they can't own their own home, they can't

266
00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:27.759
<v Speaker 4>park anywhere, and this isn't right for certain communities to

267
00:13:27.759 --> 00:13:32.480
<v Speaker 4>where the historic aspect that like Park and other areas

268
00:13:32.480 --> 00:13:37.480
<v Speaker 4>in our city that's invaluable and connected. Community policies like

269
00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:39.480
<v Speaker 4>this are just going to rip that out from people.

270
00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:42.840
<v Speaker 1>Well, and hasn't the city learned anything over the years

271
00:13:42.879 --> 00:13:46.039
<v Speaker 1>about absentee landlords, which have been a problem and a

272
00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:49.000
<v Speaker 1>plague on the general Greater Cincinnati area for so long

273
00:13:49.600 --> 00:13:52.399
<v Speaker 1>properties deteriorate, they're nowhere to be found. When you finally

274
00:13:52.399 --> 00:13:55.039
<v Speaker 1>try to find them, they change the corporate structure, so

275
00:13:55.039 --> 00:13:56.639
<v Speaker 1>you have to start all over again. In terms of

276
00:13:56.679 --> 00:13:59.279
<v Speaker 1>any litigation you're waging against them. I mean, you know

277
00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:01.639
<v Speaker 1>that season written on the wall or baked into the cake.

278
00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:04.720
<v Speaker 1>When you got these outside developers building these units.

279
00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:08.279
<v Speaker 4>Well you know when me and my wife have lived here,

280
00:14:08.960 --> 00:14:11.159
<v Speaker 4>and well, we lived here, I've been from here my

281
00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:14.200
<v Speaker 4>whole life. But being downtown for four years with the

282
00:14:14.279 --> 00:14:17.759
<v Speaker 4>Church of Business, We've had many friends that have never

283
00:14:17.879 --> 00:14:20.919
<v Speaker 4>visited Cincinnati before, and then they come in and they're

284
00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:24.120
<v Speaker 4>blown away by the historic buildings. They're blown away by

285
00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:27.200
<v Speaker 4>the beauty of Dayton Street and other areas that have

286
00:14:27.360 --> 00:14:31.840
<v Speaker 4>these amazing town homes, amazing business fronts. I mean, I mean,

287
00:14:31.840 --> 00:14:34.720
<v Speaker 4>my coffee shop is in one of these buildings. And

288
00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:38.559
<v Speaker 4>when you bring in developers and absentee landlords and all

289
00:14:38.600 --> 00:14:42.399
<v Speaker 4>these things, it's taking away from the beauty and the

290
00:14:42.480 --> 00:14:45.960
<v Speaker 4>character of our city. And also, I'll be honest with you,

291
00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:48.799
<v Speaker 4>we've been in the West End and we have many

292
00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:51.679
<v Speaker 4>people connected to us that are small time business owners.

293
00:14:51.679 --> 00:14:54.960
<v Speaker 4>They can only flip one property at a time or

294
00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:57.919
<v Speaker 4>have one business location at a time. And they are

295
00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:02.240
<v Speaker 4>hungry to utilize these spaces to better the community. But

296
00:15:02.600 --> 00:15:08.120
<v Speaker 4>these policies took out developers, any of these small businesses

297
00:15:08.159 --> 00:15:10.960
<v Speaker 4>that really want to utilize this. And so, yeah, you

298
00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:14.960
<v Speaker 4>have thousands of vacant properties, but it's done by the

299
00:15:15.080 --> 00:15:17.399
<v Speaker 4>hand of the city policies.

300
00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:23.559
<v Speaker 1>Well, and you know, obviously tinkering with other people's neighborhoods

301
00:15:23.639 --> 00:15:26.840
<v Speaker 1>and individual zoning rules. I just I mean, it's such

302
00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:30.200
<v Speaker 1>an intrusion into that neighborhood's own rights and freedoms and

303
00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:34.519
<v Speaker 1>ability to control their own direction that they just passed

304
00:15:34.600 --> 00:15:37.960
<v Speaker 1>this without going to the various communities and getting input

305
00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:39.960
<v Speaker 1>and asking if any given neighborhood was in favor of

306
00:15:39.960 --> 00:15:42.919
<v Speaker 1>it ever or not. Some of them are, many of

307
00:15:42.960 --> 00:15:45.159
<v Speaker 1>them are not. Again, I turned back to Hyde Park,

308
00:15:45.399 --> 00:15:47.120
<v Speaker 1>and I guess the idea is this is going to

309
00:15:47.200 --> 00:15:50.360
<v Speaker 1>somehow make a housing affordable. I mean, I'm sorry, but

310
00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:53.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm a little skeptical that any player in Hyde Park,

311
00:15:53.720 --> 00:15:56.679
<v Speaker 1>regardless of who builds it, it's going to be affordable.

312
00:15:56.799 --> 00:15:58.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, a lot of people love Hyde Park. It's

313
00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:01.279
<v Speaker 1>a beautiful neighborhood. It's it's if it's walkable, it's got

314
00:16:01.320 --> 00:16:03.200
<v Speaker 1>a lot of businesses that you can just walk around

315
00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:06.240
<v Speaker 1>generally speaking. But if you build an apartment building there,

316
00:16:06.279 --> 00:16:08.320
<v Speaker 1>the apartments are going to fetch a pretty high rent.

317
00:16:08.360 --> 00:16:10.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm willing to bet anyone.

318
00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:13.879
<v Speaker 4>Well, even if it does become affordable. This is a

319
00:16:13.960 --> 00:16:17.120
<v Speaker 4>major issue in our city. Is that for the sake

320
00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:21.799
<v Speaker 4>of affordable housing or income based housing, what's happening is

321
00:16:21.799 --> 00:16:25.639
<v Speaker 4>that you have poorly managed policies that are really keeping

322
00:16:25.679 --> 00:16:27.919
<v Speaker 4>those individuals. Yeah, they might be able to afford it,

323
00:16:27.960 --> 00:16:30.200
<v Speaker 4>but they'll never be able to afford something higher in

324
00:16:30.200 --> 00:16:33.120
<v Speaker 4>their lives because the way that they're structuring this, it's

325
00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:35.279
<v Speaker 4>keeping people in bondage to the system.

326
00:16:35.519 --> 00:16:37.360
<v Speaker 1>It's a great way of putting it. We can end

327
00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:40.720
<v Speaker 1>on that note. Corey Bowman, He's got a Facebook page

328

332
00:16:53.159 --> 00:16:55.519
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, we have a fourth on the way to end

333
00:16:55.519 --> 00:16:56.440
<v Speaker 4>of June, early July.

334

<v Speaker 1>No, that's beautiful. Well, good luck with all that, and

<v Speaker 1>you the best of luck. Get the message out there

339
00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:08.920
<v Speaker 1>and maybe we can transform the city to a better

340
00:17:08.960 --> 00:17:09.839
<v Speaker 1>place for everyone.

341
00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:12.400
<v Speaker 4>Absolutely, we're going to do it.

342
00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:14.440
<v Speaker 1>Thank you so much, Thank you brother. Have a great

343
00:17:14.440 --> 00:17:16.440
<v Speaker 1>weekend seven forty eight. Right now, if if you five

344
00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:19.519
<v Speaker 1>k CD talk station to save money and get a

345
00:17:19.559 --> 00:17:24.720
<v Speaker 1>great experience when you're having your foreign car repaired, that's

346
00:17:24.759 --> 00:17:27.480
<v Speaker 1>what foreign exchange is all about. They're just wonderful people.

347
00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:30.880
<v Speaker 1>You'll enjoy the environment because they're friendly. But more fundamentally,

348
00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:34.519
<v Speaker 1>at foreign exchange, you get a qualified as certified Master

349
00:17:34.599 --> 00:17:37.920
<v Speaker 1>technician working on your car. They have your manufacturer's data

350
00:17:38.880 --> 00:17:41.359
<v Speaker 1>and access to all of the information they need to

351
00:17:41.359 --> 00:17:43.039
<v Speaker 1>fix it. I don't care if you've got an exotic

352
00:17:43.119 --> 00:17:46.440
<v Speaker 1>European car or in my case now a key. I

353
00:17:46.480 --> 00:17:48.039
<v Speaker 1>tell you right, haven't had it in there yet, but

354
00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:50.160
<v Speaker 1>at some point it's going to go into foreign exchange

355
00:17:50.160 --> 00:17:53.759
<v Speaker 1>for surface, I assure you. Or our old CRV, they

356
00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:55.720
<v Speaker 1>kept that thing running north of one hundred and fifty

357
00:17:55.720 --> 00:17:57.559
<v Speaker 1>thousand miles and yes it's still out there in the

358
00:17:57.559 --> 00:17:58.160
<v Speaker 1>world running.

359
00:17:58.160 --> 00:17:59.200
<v Speaker 2>My son has it now.

360
00:17:59.400 --> 00:18:01.200
<v Speaker 1>But the point is you take it there you get

361
00:18:01.200 --> 00:18:03.200
<v Speaker 1>a full warranty on parts and service, and you have

362
00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:05.359
<v Speaker 1>more money in your pocket than had you taken it

363
00:18:05.400 --> 00:18:09.400
<v Speaker 1>to the dealer, and sometimes a substantial amount more in

364
00:18:09.440 --> 00:18:12.079
<v Speaker 1>your pocket. They just don't charge as much, but it's

365
00:18:12.079 --> 00:18:13.960
<v Speaker 1>a great opportunity for you to have your car fixed

366
00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:16.759
<v Speaker 1>for less and be happy about it. Foreign x dot
