I don't know, I guess I'll just end with a comment. I would encourage the department to relook at its whole leasing portfolio; use the NUP model. I also am very concerned that we are going to eventually end that NUP lease and put a lot of vulnerable people at risk. But I guess I'll just leave it at that. Thank you.
