And do you have members that would understanding that methodology is a bit complex to to sort of administer as a late person, but it is is it your position that you would have a lot of members that are caught up in being one of the 500 worst properties in the city of New York?

In terms of physical distress?
Adam Roberts
2:58:44
I I think certainly for a lot of smaller owners.
2:58:47
Nowadays, it's just financially impossible to to manage these buildings.
2:58:52
So it could be many of them fall under here.
2:58:55
I'd say our larger owners are actually probably the ones where these are being transferred to.

But, you know, we want to make sure that everyone no matter their size is able to run a building and not have it seized by the city.
