As an example, Texas, the Texas Constitution prohibits local governments from imposing rent control, right? Can you imagine that in California? So, all right. I mean, it's a little bit subjective, but in terms of being in a place where if you owned a rental property where you're going to have a different experience in terms of how to obtain your clients, your tenants, how to screen them, and then how to interact with them, and then ultimately, if necessary, how to evict them. And by the way, these are... everything I just described to Alexandra knows more than I do about that because this is the world that AOA lives in and advising clients on the day-to-day work of all that. But at the higher level, regulatorily, you know, anywhere from Texas east and the southeast are all those states are all going to be dramatically more landlord-friendly than Texas. than California. So it's more of a, it's a regional answer, I guess is what I'm saying. And, you know, people have, depending on where you were during COVID, you had a much different experience of being able to deal with problem tenants, you know, being in California versus South Carolina, for example. So anyhow, anywhere in the Southeast is going to be the most landlord friendly.
