Rep. David Price Condemns Israel, Praises American Jobs Plan
Orange County’s Congressional Representative David Price spoke with 97.9 The Hill’s Aaron Keck last week about a slew of national issues ranging from the recent Israeli-Palestinian ceasefire to domestic infrastructure plans.
Before last Friday’s ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, Representative David Price signed onto a letter pushing President Joe Biden’s administration to take bold and definitive leadership on the issue.
Price said he believes the Biden administration did take proper action eventually, but not before significant damage was done to the region.

With the development of the prototype project, it is ideal for sharing ideas for its evolution. In this phase, there is an emphasis on co-creation, a collaborative process in developing innovation. Ideas are shared and improved on together instead of being kept by the industry
.
When it comes to urban infrastructure, professionals are in charge of design and construction, wherein many cases exclude the actual users out of the equation and left as an afterthought. An example of this has been the construction of vehicle-focused designed megacities that have entirely left the pedestrian s perspective out of the development.
With the prototype in place, the residents input is necessary to find out the limitations and improve the design and the information from the construction industry to build supply chains. The co-creation process would involve the following steps:
