So most of the numbers that you mentioned are one-time savings from the sale of the units, or one-time revenue generating projects, which is again the sale of the units. That's where you get the hard cash. They are nice numbers, but the ongoing savings...I'm just wondering what the impact is. Again, we can come up with the numbers that you have and you stated, but there's another cost that doesn't seem to be taken into consideration. This is the cost on the staff, the morale, the mental costs. Some of the other costs that nobody has seemed to come up with yet is what's the impact on the staff in the communities? How many are going to be left after this whole strategy is in place? There are a lot of morale problems, a lot of unrest. In the communities where houses are going up for sale, a lot of staff don't know whether to buy or not because they don't know if they're going to have a job. This is causing a lot of concern. I'm just thinking out loud as to what the overall cost and impact is going to be on services to our residents.
