Well, again, I'm gonna invite I would love to invite the CEO and whoever would like to come with her to do a tour through Linden Houses, which you hail up.
2:32:04
And we would also like to take you take you to boulevard houses as well to speak to some of the residents that have been converted over.
2:32:11
And you can hear directly as to how they feel about the inferior materials that are being used to put be put in their apartments.
2:32:20
And after a three week rehab that they're dealing with some of the same conditions I'm they dealt with under under your administration.
