3 | | 4.3821 | has a teacher that's dying of cancer. | 6.6036 |
5 | | 7.0067 | <ts> And the man is younger than me. | 8.7058 |
6 | LES_int_01 | 9.3906 | Oh. I'm so [sorry.] | 10.4660 |
7 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 10.2885 | [The] man is around | 11.1402 |
8 | | 11.8777 | I would say | 12.5056 |
10 | | 15.8954 | maybe, | 16.5100 |
12 | | 16.7515 | thirties | 17.3398 |
13 | LES_int_01 | 17.6032 | Oh. | 18.3539 |
14 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 19.1442 | I got a picture of him over there, | 20.4437 |
15 | LES_int_01 | 20.9913 | That's awful. | 21.7160 |
16 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 21.9144 | and he worked with these kids. | 23.3835 |
18 | | 23.5898 | He was their head teacher, | 24.6611 |
20 | | 25.2845 | my son's group. | 26.0484 |
22 | | 27.0585 | And he's the only one that could do anything with him. | 28.7153 |
24 | | 29.9138 | In some of the cases. | 31.0773 |
25 | LES_int_01 | 31.1782 | Oh, that's terrible. | 32.2216 |
26 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 32.8626 | Three k- and he wasn't sick. | 34.5046 |
28 | | 36.3353 | No, he wasn't [sick.] | 37.3714 |
29 | LES_int_01 | 37.2485 | [And] then all of a sudden, | 38.2743 |
30 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 41.4221 | No symptoms. | 42.1377 |
32 | | 42.5856 | No pain, | 43.5119 |
34 | | 43.8851 | no loss of appetite, no loss of weight, | 46.5221 |
36 | | 47.1982 | no loss of anything. | 48.3177 |
38 | | 50.4455 | He had a blood clot in his foot and his foot swolled up, so that's what got them to looking. | 54.4319 |
40 | | 55.2880 | And then, and then, he started passing blood through his stool. | 58.0787 |
42 | | 58.4650 | And they started looking at that. | 59.7075 |
44 | | 59.9929 | And the colon was clean. | 61.1519 |
46 | | 62.0431 | Then they looked a little further in. | 63.2050 |
47 | LES_int_01 | 65.2948 | What kind of cancer was it? | 66.5856 |
48 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 66.7536 | Pancreatic [cancer.] | 68.1953 |
49 | LES_int_01 | 67.6700 | [Ah.] That's one of the worst kinds. | 69.7829 |
50 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 70.3317 | And it spread to his spleen and his liver. | 72.0571 |
52 | | 74.1864 | How long has he got? | 75.0014 |
54 | | 76.6917 | Not long. | 77.3590 |
55 | LES_int_01 | 77.9693 | That's a- it's a | 78.5663 |
57 | | 78.9351 | a nasty can- cancer I think. | 80.7549 |
58 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 81.0666 | Why is it nasty? | 82.2388 |
59 | LES_int_01 | 82.2388 | I just think there's some that are | 83.7563 |
61 | | 84.1383 | harder to fight than others. | 85.5871 |
62 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 86.2105 | Are they all so sneaky? | 87.5451 |
63 | LES_int_01 | 88.9895 | No, I think this one is particularly sneaky. | 91.2885 |
64 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 92.1490 | [You kn-] | 92.3685 |
65 | LES_int_01 | 92.1490 | [I don't] that much about it. | 93.1281 |
66 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 93.2466 | But, | 93.4749 |
68 | | 93.6066 | he- [you think he has a.] | 94.7744 |
69 | LES_int_01 | 93.8086 | [I know someone else that] passed away from it, and they- I just | 96.4685 |
70 | | 96.7381 | [/inaudible/] | 97.6293 |
71 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 96.9225 | [How long did] they last? | 98.1781 |
72 | LES_int_01 | 100.4288 | I think a ye- at least a year. | 102.1366 |
73 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 102.5186 | With stage four? | 103.4976 |
74 | LES_int_01 | 105.2845 | <ts> I don't remember. | 106.2284 |
75 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 106.6806 | [Well he's.] | 107.1181 |
76 | LES_int_01 | 106.7888 | [Might have] progressed. They might have caught it earlier, and then it progressed to stage four. | 110.3054 |
77 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 111.0211 | Well, he got his first chemo treatment the other day. | 113.2277 |
78 | LES_int_01 | 113.3799 | Okay. | 113.7750 |
80 | | 114.5652 | That's good. | 115.1140 |
81 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 115.8033 | But, | 116.0755 |
83 | | 116.1677 | it's stage four | 116.8965 |
85 | | 117.2214 | already and it's m- m- metastasized | 119.4911 |
87 | | 120.1350 | to his spleen [and to his liver.] | 121.7989 |
88 | LES_int_01 | 121.0848 | [That's terrible.] | 122.0535 |
89 | | 122.2467 | Especially for someone so young. | 123.8843 |
90 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 124.2004 | He is young. | 124.8282 |
92 | | 125.0653 | I'm'a show you his picture before you leave. He's young, he's not a old man. | 127.9613 |

170 | LES_int_01 | 223.0601 | [gets] upset or [something.] | 224.2197 |

180 | LES_int_01 | 232.4998 | Well, so get back to your story. You were- I was asking you what vertical policing was. | 236.9911 |
181 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 237.1535 | Oh, vertical patrol. | 238.1706 |
182 | LES_int_01 | 238.2628 | Patrol. | 238.7808 |
184 | | 239.0125 | [Yeah, what is that?] | 239.7214 |
185 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 239.1419 | [Okay, re- ve- ve- reger- vertical patrol is done when the crime is inside, not outside and not visible to the, uh, | 245.5210 |
186 | LES_int_01 | 245.7537 | Not on the [street.] | 246.6097 |
187 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 246.3507 | [street.] | 246.6536 |
188 | | 246.8161 | And. | 247.3078 |
190 | | 247.4044 | The police have to go into a building or another area, and what they will do | 251.2810 |
192 | | 251.7317 | they will | 252.1312 |
194 | | 252.2717 | patrol | 252.8776 |
196 | | 253.2156 | check | 253.5273 |
198 | | 253.6239 | every d- staircases, of [the co-] | 255.7268 |
199 | LES_int_01 | 255.4151 | [They] go up and down. | 256.4073 |
200 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 256.4073 | Down, [right the] hallways | 258.3775 |
201 | LES_int_01 | 257.0209 | [/inaudible/] | 257.6355 |
202 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 258.5004 | the doors, any doors that are open that may- | 260.5669 |
204 | | 261.6294 | And the reason why they're doing that is to catch anybody using drugs, | 265.3973 |
206 | | 265.7617 | or drug sale, | 266.9597 |
208 | | 267.2451 | or anyone trespassing in your building. | 269.0231 |
209 | LES_int_01 | 269.3700 | Right. | 269.7563 |
211 | | 270.1427 | Right. | 270.4324 |
212 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 270.6871 | See? | 270.9329 |
213 | LES_int_01 | 271.2271 | Yeah. | 271.6378 |
214 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 271.9606 | A lot of the stuff that the DA's office now uses like the Trespass affidavit program | 276.5688 |
216 | | 277.0298 | that they rely on, | 278.2283 |
218 | | 278.5839 | came from this case. | 279.7912 |
219 | LES_int_01 | 280.2478 | [Yeah.] | 280.5552 |
220 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 280.3005 | [The-] the strategy that that man, that I showed you | 283.1685 |
221 | | 283.6272 | developed. | 284.1541 |
223 | | 284.6897 | He developed | 285.1375 |
225 | | 285.2429 | alright, | 285.5326 |
227 | | 285.6511 | the vertical patrol was always | 287.3590 |
229 | | 287.5917 | a given. | 288.0658 |
231 | | 288.4000 | But, it wasn't used very widely cause it's dangerous. | 290.8673 |
233 | | 291.3371 | And the captain had to okay it. | 292.7687 |
235 | | 293.6643 | And he said to the captain, | 295.1314 |
237 | | 295.2411 | I wanna do some other creative stuff, | 297.1092 |
239 | | 297.9258 | in /RD-ADDRESS-5/ and I really would like to work with the tenants there. Uh- | 302.0548 |
241 | | 302.7660 | Cause there are some tenants that don't want this. | 304.6319 |
243 | | 305.0621 | fine. | 305.3256 |
245 | | 306.0176 | So, the captain gave him a free hand. | 307.3039 |
247 | | 307.6595 | He developed | 308.1995 |
249 | | 308.3269 | a little strategy called, um, | 310.2371 |
251 | | 311.2820 | Inquiry plus escort. | 312.7747 |
253 | | 314.4942 | This became | 315.5523 |
255 | | 316.1098 | this is what the DA's office use right now. | 318.4411 |
257 | | 320.4635 | When | 320.9771 |
259 | | 321.8771 | they want to | 322.7903 |
261 | | 322.9132 | slow down | 323.6815 |
263 | | 323.8264 | or interrupt as they say, the marketplace. | 325.7961 |
265 | | 326.7181 | This guy here, /RD-NAME-5/, standing in the front of the door | 329.8615 |
267 | | 330.3489 | in the front of the lobby. | 331.1771 |
269 | | 331.6205 | by | 331.9147 |
271 | | 332.0596 | where- | 332.5688 |
273 | | 332.6610 | where the bells are | 333.5040 |
275 | | 334.2240 | and as people come in, he would say, hello, how are you? | 336.6474 |
277 | | 337.9542 | And how can I help you? And where are you going? | 339.9474 |
279 | | 341.3874 | And if they would tell him they were going to the drug floor to see the drug dealer, | 344.8235 |
281 | | 345.2230 | he said, just one minute. | 346.0571 |
283 | | 347.5191 | Are you going the same place? | 348.7572 |
285 | | 349.1244 | He said, well you see, | 349.9542 |
287 | | 350.1166 | these two gentlemen here, they're gonna escort you to the door because you see, uh, this building is not safe, and we don't want anything to happen to you. | 356.3168 |
288 | LES_int_01 | 356.5451 | [<laugh>] | 357.7568 |
289 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 357.4539 | [And] they're gonna make sure the drug dea- they'll make sure the man lets you in, and make sure he's home and he'll let you in. You don't mind do you? | 363.0273 |
290 | LES_int_01 | 363.2117 | <laugh> | 364.2083 |
292 | | 364.9530 | [Then they turn] tail and (laughing) | 366.4501 |

294 | LES_int_01 | 367.3501 | went somewhere else? | 368.3225 |
295 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 368.5025 | Well, | 368.8977 |
297 | | 369.1962 | some of them. | 369.8855 |
299 | | 371.2728 | You know. | 371.6439 |
301 | | 371.9424 | He just didn't open the door th- when they got up there, but | 374.4405 |
303 | | 374.6951 | after a while, they would see him standing in the front | 377.3375 |
305 | | 377.4648 | and not even come in the building. | 378.8560 |
306 | LES_int_01 | 379.0316 | Right. | 379.3784 |
308 | | 380.2257 | Incredible. [That's really smart.] | 381.6043 |
309 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 380.9018 | [So that shut-] that shut down the tra- | 383.1257 |
310 | | 383.2222 | that shut | 383.7599 |
312 | | 383.8565 | down the um, | 385.1198 |
314 | | 386.6871 | traffic. | 387.1042 |
315 | LES_int_01 | 387.2579 | Yeah. | 387.6672 |
316 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 388.0009 | Immediately. | 388.7434 |
318 | | 389.6832 | [So.] | 390.0679 |
319 | LES_int_01 | 389.7518 | [I-] | 389.9845 |
320 | | 390.1425 | but now, I'm wondering how, I mean. | 391.9996 |
321 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 392.0611 | [Wait a minute.] | 392.5572 |
322 | LES_int_01 | 392.0781 | [Is.] | 392.3371 |
323 | | 392.5786 | [Yeah.] | 393.0314 |
324 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 392.7284 | [This is] some | 393.8523 |
325 | | 395.2441 | Let me connect it. | 396.0322 |
327 | | 396.6557 | That was | 397.4503 |
329 | | 398.4425 | a police- this was a program reaching out to the community. | 401.0196 |
330 | LES_int_01 | 401.2259 | Yeah. | 401.5596 |
331 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 401.8757 | Because, the woman that trained me also trained them and suggested that we meet. | 405.7909 |
333 | | 407.0245 | See, the Lower East Side was right for that because of the fact, it was a- | 410.5001 |
335 | | 410.6055 | a- a- | 410.9567 |
337 | | 411.1806 | a lesson | 411.7250 |
339 | | 412.0806 | that this is a place | 413.1080 |
341 | | 413.5206 | that | 413.7913 |
343 | | 414.5245 | nurtures | 415.3543 |
345 | | 415.6660 | advocacy, | 416.3948 |
347 | | 416.7943 | nurtures | 417.5450 |
349 | | 417.6899 | organization | 418.7128 |
350 | LES_int_01 | 418.7128 | Yeah. | 419.0641 |
351 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 419.2353 | nurtures | 420.0855 |
353 | | 420.2216 | people changing their situation | 422.3289 |
354 | LES_int_01 | 422.5309 | [Yeah.] | 422.8074 |
355 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 422.6626 | [for] the better. | 423.2289 |
356 | | 424.3089 | As a result, | 424.9323 |
358 | | 425.2002 | the building was cleaned up, | 426.2435 |
360 | | 426.7001 | the people learned a | 428.1182 |
362 | | 428.6318 | new | 429.1235 |
364 | | 429.4353 | respect for the police department, they don't have the attitudes they had when they first moved in this building. | 433.9513 |
366 | | 435.1674 | And, we haven't had that | 436.4670 |
368 | | 436.6162 | kind of drug dealing | 437.5338 |
370 | | 438.1206 | ever again. | 438.7572 |
371 | LES_int_01 | 438.7572 | Incredible. | 439.5343 |
372 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 440.8206 | So, I went on to tell my story to all over New York and then | 444.3927 |
374 | | 444.6122 | all over the si- states | 446.3288 |
376 | | 446.8804 | and then all. Then people from all over the world came in to talk about it. | 450.3751 |
377 | LES_int_01 | 450.8536 | Incredible. | 451.5429 |
378 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 451.7405 | I did | 452.1663 |
380 | | 452.5775 | England three times, Paris three times, /even in/ South Africa. | 456.2609 |
382 | | 457.0336 | Uh. | 457.4068 |
383 | LES_int_01 | 457.6307 | Wow. | 458.3946 |
384 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 458.6609 | Australia, Melbourne | 460.0642 |
385 | LES_int_01 | 460.4549 | Wonderful. | 461.3198 |
387 | | 461.5832 | That's [wonderful.] | 462.3954 |
388 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 461.7676 | [Hm.] | 461.9476 |
389 | | 462.4393 | All these different police. | 463.6817 |
390 | LES_int_01 | 464.9315 | They wanted to learn from the model that you guys had created. | 468.0661 |
391 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 468.0661 | That's correct. | 468.5710 |
392 | | 469.1900 | <ts> So, | 469.7300 |
394 | | 470.1647 | I will say to you. | 471.1202 |
396 | | 473.0651 | The first lesson | 473.8817 |
398 | | 474.1715 | we learned, | 474.8256 |
400 | | 475.1154 | thank God I learned it, | 476.1252 |
402 | | 477.0961 | is how do you live in a nei- in a building | 479.6293 |
404 | | 479.8532 | in a city | 480.6786 |
406 | | 480.8674 | in a neighborhood with people different races, creeds, and color? | 483.6524 |
408 | | 484.7281 | Without killing each other. | 485.7729 |
410 | | 486.1637 | Why is that important? It's important because when tragedy hits, | 489.0535 |
412 | | 490.3136 | if this bond had not | 491.3436 |
414 | | 491.5807 | been | 491.8397 |
416 | | 491.9758 | m- been | 492.4719 |
418 | | 492.8539 | been created, when tragedy hit as of Nine Eleven, | 495.3958 |
420 | | 495.7011 | and we saw what real hate was. | 497.1718 |
421 | LES_int_01 | 497.2947 | Mm. | 497.7865 |
422 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 498.5855 | Or, when the lights went out | 499.7884 |
424 | | 500.3416 | and we saw how much we really needed one another, we were all there in the backyard with the barbecue going, and everybody took | 505.6571 |
426 | | 505.8492 | food out of their refrigerator because they didn't want it to spoil, and that's how we ate. | 508.8901 |
428 | | 509.2501 | Cause lights didn't come on here til almost three days. | 511.5067 |
430 | | 513.6755 | Or, it could be something as simple as your landlord writing you a letter telling you that in less than a year, | 518.2267 |
432 | | 519.4780 | you are not going to be subsidized anymore, the contract is up. | 522.4004 |
434 | | 523.9282 | Tra- | 524.2618 |
436 | | 524.9019 | That happened in two thousand and four, and there's a good chance the person you reach out to | 529.0287 |
438 | | 531.2048 | and person that you | 533.0004 |
440 | | 534.1024 | or extend a helping hand to will look very different than you. | 536.6428 |
442 | | 536.8843 | They will either be a different race, | 538.2804 |
444 | | 538.3989 | a different religion, or a different sexual orientation. | 541.0814 |
445 | LES_int_01 | 541.2000 | Yeah. | 541.6214 |
446 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 541.6961 | Or a combination of both. | 542.8739 |
447 | LES_int_01 | 543.0319 | Yeah. | 543.4271 |
448 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 543.7958 | And unfortunately, | 544.7090 |
450 | | 544.9724 | you're gonna have to work very closely with them, a bond will have to be created | 548.2909 |
452 | | 548.9567 | if you're gonna be successful | 550.3836 |
453 | LES_int_01 | 550.7085 | Mm-hm. | 551.1343 |
454 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 551.3977 | in keeping a roof over your head | 552.9124 |
456 | | 553.3821 | or getting food in your belly. | 554.7811 |
458 | | 556.8050 | Or relocating all together, because | 558.7499 |
460 | | 558.9870 | your place was damaged by the by- m- the terrorists. | 562.1246 |
461 | LES_int_01 | 563.4197 | Mm-hm. | 563.7709 |
462 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 563.9202 | See. | 564.1660 |
464 | | 564.3197 | These are lessons | 565.2636 |
466 | | 565.3865 | that were so important | 566.7153 |
467 | LES_int_01 | 566.7548 | Mm-hm. | 567.1850 |
468 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 568.0938 | that. | 568.4363 |
470 | | 570.6841 | And you can't do this with hate in your heart. | 572.4387 |
471 | LES_int_01 | 573.3562 | Yeah. | 573.7777 |
472 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 573.8392 | You can't hate white people, you can't hate Jewish people, you can't hate | 577.1934 |
474 | | 577.6543 | hispanic people, and you can't hate gay people. | 579.5802 |
475 | LES_int_01 | 579.8172 | [Yeah.] | 580.1816 |
476 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 580.0455 | [Because] they will probably be the ones that will come to your rescue. | 582.5875 |
477 | LES_int_01 | 582.7938 | Uh-huh. | 583.2812 |
478 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 584.1987 | That's the first lesson. The second lesson is | 586.1509 |
480 | | 586.4933 | you must be willing to do something about it. | 588.6270 |
482 | | 590.3129 | And stick to it. | 590.9875 |
483 | LES_int_01 | 591.2158 | Yeah. | 591.6241 |
484 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 592.2211 | Because at the time I moved in here, I didn't know anything about anything. | 595.5973 |
486 | | 597.2641 | But, by the time my contract was up in this building in two thousand and four, I was able to put a plan together | 602.6098 |
488 | | 603.1190 | in which to save it. | 603.9736 |
490 | | 604.8736 | And we got fifteen more years, so our contract is now up in two thousand nineteen. | 609.5098 |
491 | LES_int_01 | 610.3863 | Wonderful. | 610.9175 |
492 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 611.3697 | And we were the only ones on the Lower East Side that got | 613.3893 |
494 | | 613.6439 | fifteen years | 614.5571 |
496 | | 614.7195 | at that point. | 615.3407 |
498 | | 617.8461 | I was able to do that because I was able to get | 620.0632 |
500 | | 620.1729 | all my elected officials | 621.6568 |
502 | | 622.7017 | and | 623.0925 |
504 | | 623.4086 | the people in this building, they finally woke up. | 625.4002 |
506 | | 626.6690 | And | 627.2925 |
508 | | 627.9993 | Anyone that I could talk to, I used any vendor, | 630.5573 |
510 | | 631.3212 | any opportunity, whether it was a rally, a press conference, | 634.5525 |
512 | | 635.0574 | to | 635.3691 |
514 | | 635.5754 | air my cause. | 636.6232 |
516 | | 636.7285 | To give it some publicity. | 637.8920 |
517 | LES_int_01 | 638.0544 | Right. | 638.4583 |
518 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 638.6207 | The New York Times came here and did a article | 640.7588 |
520 | | 641.3252 | on the building. | 641.9602 |
522 | | 642.7373 | I was gonna make the cover, but | 644.1817 |
523 | LES_int_01 | 645.2112 | [<laugh>] | 645.8434 |
524 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 645.5251 | [I was.] But, | 646.7632 |
525 | | 646.8861 | something else | 647.9359 |
527 | | 648.1686 | took [the cover that day.] I was in the Metro [section. Front the.] | 651.3605 |
528 | LES_int_01 | 648.6868 | [Something else.] | 649.5473 |
530 | | 650.6668 | [Oh.] | 651.4746 |
531 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 652.1025 | Huge | 652.5283 |
533 | | 653.2176 | [Yeah.] | 653.7676 |
534 | LES_int_01 | 653.2176 | [That's still] pretty good. | 654.3707 |
535 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 654.5288 | Uh. | 655.2049 |
537 | | 655.5122 | Yeah, | 655.8371 |
539 | | 655.9556 | the cover would have been even better. | 656.9215 |
541 | | 657.4527 | [And. (laughing)] | 658.2605 |
542 | LES_int_01 | 657.4571 | [<laugh>] | 658.8312 |
543 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 658.9015 | And um, | 659.8630 |
545 | | 660.9722 | then I learned | 661.9907 |
547 | | 663.5186 | how to get a bill passed, because right after that, | 665.8630 |
549 | | 666.0649 | Alan Gerson wrote Local Law Seventy Nine. | 668.0741 |
550 | LES_int_01 | 668.9873 | Which one was that? | 669.6459 |
551 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 669.9971 | That is the one that gave tenants the right | 672.2039 |
553 | | 672.4102 | to buy their building. | 673.3849 |
554 | LES_int_01 | 674.3683 | [Oh.] | 674.9785 |
555 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 674.6624 | [Oh.] | 675.6634 |
556 | LES_int_01 | 675.9268 | Mm-hm | 676.3351 |
557 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 676.5810 | And for once, black | 677.7752 |
559 | | 677.9639 | people, hispanic | 679.0380 |
561 | | 679.1961 | people, white people, poor people, all came together, and stayed together for the two years to make sure that bill passed the city council. | 686.7979 |
562 | LES_int_01 | 686.9910 | Mm-hm. | 687.6293 |
563 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 687.7083 | And we passed a bill | 689.0385 |
565 | | 690.6671 | by forty-eight to three. | 692.0807 |
566 | LES_int_01 | 693.1153 | Wow. | 693.6773 |
567 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 694.1383 | That's right. | 694.7353 |
568 | LES_int_01 | 694.7255 | That's pretty good. | 695.5651 |
569 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 695.9866 | And the mayor was smoking. | 697.2554 |
571 | | 698.3925 | He overrid, but nobody was concerned about his little exercise of penmanship. | 701.7967 |
573 | | 702.6659 | So that's why- no, because we had the override automatically. | 705.4318 |
575 | | 707.2610 | We overrid it forty-five to three. | 708.8811 |
577 | | 709.0435 | Five people went on vacation, it was August. | 711.0850 |
579 | | 713.0898 | That's right. And the mayor went to court. | 715.2498 |
581 | | 715.4781 | That's the reason why he went into court, to make sure that | 718.2259 |
583 | | 718.5244 | he get the power to select what bills he can affor- w- enforce. | 721.9558 |
585 | | 722.7197 | And why the city council let him get away with that, I don't know. | 725.0553 |
587 | | 726.3373 | But, this man has too much power. But, back to the Lower East Side, | 729.3830 |
589 | | 730.1337 | [I've] seen changes. | 731.6176 |
590 | LES_int_01 | 730.1337 | [Yeah.] | 730.5552 |
591 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 731.8240 | [From] the time I moved here, | 733.2157 |
592 | LES_int_01 | 731.8240 | [Yeah.] | 732.0654 |
593 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 733.5933 | where the organizing was rich, | 735.6683 |
595 | | 736.1557 | and there were small businesses and ma and pop businesses, | 738.7591 |
597 | | 739.0708 | and you could go knock on. You could go into a store with your | 742.1407 |
599 | | 742.2680 | flyers | 743.0714 |
601 | | 743.6026 | and your | 744.4763 |
603 | | 745.3983 | material | 746.2983 |
605 | | 746.5338 | will- | 746.8455 |
607 | | 747.1704 | will you post this? Will you join this? | 749.0275 |
608 | LES_int_01 | 749.3787 | Yeah. | 749.6246 |
609 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 749.7826 | And we all worked together here. | 751.4158 |
610 | LES_int_01 | 751.6265 | Uh-huh. | 751.9251 |
611 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 752.1797 | That's the way we survived. | 753.5260 |
613 | | 754.5094 | That doesn't exist anymore. | 755.7958 |
614 | LES_int_01 | 757.2402 | What happened? | 757.8548 |

2198 | | 2613.0845 | I think I have two more questions for you. The first is, uh | 2616.8290 |
2200 | | 2617.6623 | if you | 2618.4129 |

2218 | | 2640.9224 | Because | 2641.3679 |

2222 | | 2644.9010 | is | 2645.2332 |
2224 | | 2645.5505 | does not | 2646.1729 |

2271 | LES_int_01 | 2699.4621 | <laugh> | 2700.3280 |
2272 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 2701.4388 | So it's rough. (sighing) | 2702.7813 |

2303 | | 2732.8762 | If you could | 2733.3643 |
2305 | | 2733.6850 | think ahead ten years or twenty years. | 2735.6391 |
2307 | | 2735.8405 | I- I'm interested in where you think the neighborhood's going. | 2738.0046 |
2309 | | 2738.3036 | What do you think it's gonna be like in ten years? | 2740.0976 |
2310 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 2741.6223 | If i- | 2742.0068 |
2312 | | 2742.2875 | nothing changes, and it goes in the same | 2744.4964 |
2314 | | 2745.0456 | direction it's going now. | 2746.2356 |
2316 | | 2747.0166 | Then it'll be predominantly white | 2748.4037 |
2318 | | 2748.8369 | and predominantly rich. | 2749.9658 |
2319 | LES_int_01 | 2750.0756 | Mm-hm. | 2750.5272 |

2326 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 2758.4886 | You see, if you offer people enough money, | 2760.9120 |
2328 | | 2761.2415 | everybody has their price as they say. | 2762.9383 |
2330 | | 2763.9330 | Like Common Ground. | 2764.8056 |
2331 | LES_int_01 | 2765.3181 | Yeah. | 2765.5500 |
2332 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 2765.5500 | Common Ground is determined to get rid of housing. | 2767.9728 |

2347 | | 2787.0350 | uh-huh. You get the point? | 2788.2127 |
2349 | | 2789.8847 | How much are they willing to pay | 2791.4502 |
2351 | | 2792.4327 | for these two? | 2793.0734 |
2352 | LES_int_01 | 2793.3114 | Yeah. | 2793.5799 |
2353 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 2794.4464 | Two hundred million? | 2795.1298 |

2366 | LES_int_01 | 2810.3982 | Yeah. | 2810.7094 |
2367 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 2811.2219 | The market doesn't change? No. | 2812.6743 |

2379 | | 2826.1080 | move into these a- buildings | 2827.6964 |
2381 | | 2828.0686 | with they goddamn roommates. Everybody pays a thousand dollars or fifteen hundred dollars | 2831.9069 |
2383 | | 2832.4866 | and nobody is holding anybody accountable. | 2835.2113 |
2384 | LES_int_01 | 2835.5347 | Mm-hm. | 2835.9375 |
2385 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 2836.1022 | And we have to suffer because | 2838.0691 |
2387 | | 2838.3803 | they | 2838.9539 |
2389 | | 2839.4787 | ha- must have some place to live | 2841.0591 |

2393 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 2845.9995 | And um, they don't. | 2847.4274 |
2395 | | 2847.5677 | And then once they get in there, the landlord screws 'em royally. | 2850.7672 |
2397 | | 2851.1368 | He goes from a yearly lease to month to month | 2853.4676 |

2400 | LES_int_01 | 2857.1591 | Right. | 2857.4886 |
2401 | LES_se0_ag4_f_01 | 2858.5443 | I've seen that scenarios play out in the GOAL's office so many times. They come in there crying. | 2862.6359 |

2407 | | 2869.4542 | low income people to help them fight their cause. | 2871.4697 |
2409 | | 2871.7565 | Because they know they rich bitch people ain't gonna help them. | 2873.9370 |
