So more broadly broad broadly, why are incentives tied to capital improvements rather than retention?
0:26:43
And I know that might be because you're not monitoring retention.

Do you know if there's a direct why there's a direct tie to the capital improvements?

I I don't know because I do know that most state and federal ones are tied to capital improvements.

Our energy cost savings program is, not only tied to, re renovations, but also to relocation.
