Okay.

My my my my piece of advice for what it's worth is that there is a comprehensive review done here, and that we do real we do evaluate real estate transactions.
1:08:00
It's certainly whether you think something was illegal or not, it does raise questions about how is evaluated and how is how is ultimately the decision was made.
1:08:08
And I recognize cost considerations.
1:08:10
I recognize agency preferences, things that are part of the valuation process.
1:08:14
There's also scoring process.
1:08:15
It's part of an RFP that feels quite important.
1:08:18
So if if this agency is not taking it and you're not aware of the deputy mayor doing an a a a review, which I became aware of in this hearing as well, I do think it's worth looking at all the transactions that have have that database has been part of to to better understand whether other other other other other questions will be raised in in in other transactions as well.

Do do you agree with that?
