We see owners of all kinds these days owning buildings of all kinds, so we don't always see those patterns.

We're always really aggressive whenever we're looking at any of these issues and trying to identify how do we understand trends, etcetera.

But sometimes we do see that, they're not always easy to parse out because of the the variance in our, in our housing stock.
